LNG tanker arrives in San Juan Bay to supply gas for power plants AI illustrationhow this picture was madeOn 13 October 2026, New Fortress Energy’s LNG tanker Amur River completed docking at the company’s terminal in Puerto Nuevo, San Juan Bay, to supply natural gas for the island’s power generation.[1]
Puerto Rico’s port and energy authorities granted the vessel priority entry, a decision announced by the government on the same day.[2] The carrier had spent nearly a month offshore before entering the bay on Tuesday.[3] The Amur River is loaded with LNG destined for electrical generation.[4] New Fortress Energy had halted deliveries on 16 September 2025 and resumed them on 13 October 2025 hours before a scheduled federal court hearing.[5]
