Tokyo (Platts)--16May2013

Japan's major trading houses Mitsui, Mitsubishi, and shipping company Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha or NYK have agreed to take a combined 33.2% stake in the Cameron LNG project in Louisiana, marking the first Japanese foray into US export projects.

The three companies said separately Friday that Mitsui would take a 16.6% stake in the Cameron LNG project with Mitsubishi and NYK together taking a 16.6% stake under their joint venture, Japan LNG Investment.

Mitsui and Mitsubishi also concluded a 20-year tolling agreement with Cameron LNG, a subsidiary of Sempra Energy for the liquefaction of 4 million mt/year each of natural gas, the companies said.

"By participating in this LNG export project, we are proud to be able to contribute not only to the development of stable energy trade between the US and countries around the world, including Japan, but also to the growth of the US economy," said Jun Nishizawa, vice president of Mitsubishi's Global Gas Business Department.
