This past june, the U.S. Trade and Development Agency awarded a grant to the Panama Canal Authority (ACP) to support the planning of a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) import terminal. When the third set of locks are completed next year, the canal is expected to handle a significant number of LNG carrier traffic. In order to capitalize on this growth, the ACP is interested in developing LNG-related infrastructure projects, including an import terminal. "The U.S. Government is very pleased to partner with the Panama Canal Authority through this USTDA grant as the ACP looks to develop a LNG import terminal," said Charge d'Affaires Kevin M. O'Reilly, who signed the grant agreement along with ACP Administrator/CEO Jorge L. Quijano.
