Vopak acquires stake in Colombia's sole LNG import facility
World’s largest independent tank storage company Vopak says it has bought a 49% stake in Colombia’s sole liquefied natural gas (LNG) import facility.
The LNG import facility consists of an LNG jetty, onshore infrastructure and a 9.2 km gas pipeline which connects SPEC to the national gas grid. A chartered FSRU is receiving the LNG and sending the gas on shore. SPEC holds long term contracts with three local gas-fired power plants.
The shareholders in SPEC are Promigas (51%) and Royal Vopak (49%).

Promigas is a private company in the natural gas sector in Latin America with 45 years of experience providing mass access to natural gas.
