According to the data provided by the state-owned Perupetro, five vessels departed the facility, with volumes totaling 805,906 cubic meters of the chilled fuel.
This represents a 9.67 percent increase over the volumes exported in October 2018 when the facility exported a total of 734,843 cubic meters of LNG.
In terms of cargoes shipped, the number of exports remained the same at 5 cargoes.
