据世界天然气7月22日消息，上周末，位于圣凯瑟琳旧港湾的牙买加液化天然气进口终端正式对外开放，该终端由新堡垒能源公司(NFE)开发和运营。
12.5万立方米的浮式储存及再气化装置(FSRU) Golar Freeze装置将为NFE提供为期15年的服务，作为供应新燃气发电厂的进口设施，安装于3.6英里外的海上。
Golar Freeze由在纳斯达克上市的Golar LNG Partners所有，该公司是由Golar LNG组建的有限合伙企业，之前已从液化天然气运输船转换为FSRU，每年的再气化能力为49亿立方米。
牙买加总理安德鲁·霍尼斯在揭幕仪式上指出，该国最新推出的液化天然气供应符合牙买加的能源政策，该政策要求发展其能源资源潜力，以提高国际竞争力和能源安全，同时减少碳足迹。
牙买加总理在声明中称，该终端是加勒比地区首个此类终端，将通过天然气管道向多个设施提供燃料，其中包括牙买加公共服务公司(JPS)即将建成的旧港190兆瓦发电厂。
霍尼斯指出，NFE已经在向西印度群岛大学(UWI)和Red Stripe供应液化天然气。
NFE为将液化天然气项目推进到当前阶段已投资近10亿美元。
牙买加总理指出，NFE也有向牙买加城市交通公司(JUTC)提供冷冻燃料的计划，并指出在不久的将来，牙买加公共汽车可以使用液化天然气。

NFE commissions LNG terminal off Jamaica’s coast
Jamaica’s liquefied natural gas import terminal developed and operated New Fortress Energy off the coast of Old Harbour Bay, in St. Catherine has been officially unveiled over the weekend.
The 125,000-cbm FSRU Golar Freeze that will serve a 15-year charter for New Fortress Energy as an import facility supplying new gas-fired power plants, has been positioned 3.6 miles out at sea.
Golar Freeze, owned by the Nasdaq-listed Golar LNG Partners, a limited partnership formed by Golar LNG, was previously converted into an FSRU from an LNG carrier and has a 4.9 billion cubic meters per year regasification capacity.
Speaking at the occasion of unveiling the facility, Jamaica’s prime minister Andrew Holness noted that this latest introduction of LNG supply in the country is in line with Jamaica’s energy policy, which calls for the development of its energy resource potential to enhance international competitiveness and energy security, whilst reducing carbon footprint.
The terminal, which is the first of its kind in the Caribbean, will provide fuel to several facilities, including the Jamaica Public Service’s (JPS) soon-to-be-completed 190-megawatt power plant in Old Harbour, through natural gas pipelines, prime minister’s statement reads.
Holness noted that already, New Fortress Energy is supplying LNG to the University of the West Indies (UWI) and Red Stripe.
New Fortress has invested close to$1 billion to bring the LNG project to its current stage.
Prime minister pointed out that there are also plans to supply the Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC) with the chilled fuel, noting that in the near future Jamaican buses could run
