Trinidad and Tobago is expanding delivery of energy supplies to its South American neighbors with a first shipment of liquefied natural gas on its way to Chile. 'Just about a week ago, by way of a 14th regasification terminal, we were able to export our first shipment of natural gas from Trinidad and Tobago to Chile', said Prime Minister Patrick Manning Monday. The shipment is due to arrive in Quintero, Chile on Sunday. Chile turned to Trinidad after Argentina stopped exports of LNG to Chile in 2004. Manning said the Caribbean island nation had begun exporting LNG to Brazil earlier this year, and vowed a new plant would help bring down costs. 'After those costs are reduced, then the price should come to the point where it guarantees countries, like Chile and Jamaica's alumina industry a relatively competitive price for the source of energy,' he added.
