TOKYO -- Canada has shipped its first ever cargo of liquefied natural gas, unleashing a source of the super-chilled fuel that could boost Asia's energy security in the face of tight global supply.
The cargo left LNG Canada's facility in the western province of British Columbia Tuesday morning Asia time. It was loaded on the vessel Gaslog Glasgow chartered by oil major Shell, according to ship tracking information from Kpler, a commodity data firm. The shipment comes more than a decade after the project was first announced in 2012.
