        美国海事、能源及物流解决方案企业克劳利集团表示，一艘专为服务波多黎各打造、美国籍液化天然气（LNG）运输船，运营首年已向这座北美地区属地运送超 5 亿加仑美国液化天然气。

 

        这艘名为 “美国能源号” 的美国籍 LNG 运输船于 2026 年 3 月实现连续运营满一周年，累计向波多黎各输送 200 万立方米（约 5.49 亿加仑）美国原产液化天然气。该气量可满足当地约 120 万户家庭年度用电需求，与柴油发电相比，碳排放可降低近 30%。

 

        克劳利集团先进能源副总裁杰基・冈萨雷斯强调：“‘美国能源号’实现连续稳定运营一周年，不只是一项业绩里程碑，更意味着波多黎各获得了稳定可靠的能源供应渠道。

 

        过去一年里，这艘船为当地家庭、企业及社区每日赖以生存的液化天然气，提供了持续、安全的运输保障。这份稳定性助力全岛经济运转、公共基础服务正常开展，并大幅提升当地能源信心。”

 

        该运输船助力完善当地能源基础设施与海事就业体系。克劳利与全球能源企业自然能源集团达成多年合作，通过该船向佩纽埃拉斯市生态电力公司设施输送液化天然气；运营首年共雇佣 90 名美国海员，其中近 20% 来自波多黎各。此举彰显该企业持续供应 LNG、助力波多黎各能源抗风险能力建设的承诺。

 

        波多黎各总督珍妮弗・冈萨雷斯 - 科隆评论道：“我谨祝贺克劳利集团达成这一里程碑，标志着专为满足我方电力需求、悬挂美国国旗运营的‘美国能源号’，向波多黎各输送液化天然气已满一周年。

 

        克劳利的相关举措，助力强化当地能源产业抗风险能力，带动就业与投资增长，通过合作保障民众用上安全、平价的电力。我们将始终支持这类推动波多黎各能源安全与经济发展的项目。”

 

        除 LNG 运输船业务外，克劳利集团还在圣胡安运营一站式货运码头，服务集装箱船、滚装驳船（含两艘 LNG 动力船舶），并提供一体化物流服务。

 

        此外，该企业通过佩纽埃拉斯市 LNG 装卸码头，每年向波多黎各各地工业企业供应约 9400 万加仑液化天然气，并采用国际标准罐式集装箱提供 LNG 运输服务。

A vessel, described as the first U.S.-flagged liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier dedicated to serving Puerto Rico, has transported more than 500 million gallons to the North American country during its first year of operation, according to Crowley, a U.S.-owned and operated maritime, energy, and logistics solutions company.

 

The U.S.-flagged American Energy LNG carrier has reached one year of uninterrupted operations in March 2026, delivering 2 million cubic meters (approximately 549 million gallons) of U.S.-sourced LNG to Puerto Rico, enough to power about 1.2 million homes annually and reduce emissions by nearly 30% compared to diesel.

 

Jackie Gonsalez, Vice President of Advanced Energy for Crowley, underlined: “Reaching one year of uninterrupted service with American Energy represents more than a performance milestone; it represents dependable access to energy for Puerto Rico.

 

“Over the past year, this vessel has helped provide the consistent, secure transportation of LNG that families, business and communities rely on every day. That reliability supports economic activity, essential services and greater energy confidence across the island.”

 

The vessel is perceived to support the country’s energy infrastructure and maritime workforce, delivering LNG to the EcoEléctrica facility in Peñuelas through a multi-year partnership with global energy company Naturgy and employing 90 U.S. mariners in its first year, nearly 20% from Puerto Rico. This highlights the company’s commitment to providing LNG supply to support the island’s energy resilience.

 

Jenniffer González-Colón, Governor of Puerto Rico, commented: “I want to congratulate Crowley on achieving this milestone, marking the first anniversary of LNG deliveries to Puerto Rico by the vessel American Energy, a US-flagged service dedicated to supplying our power needs.

 

“Crowley’s efforts help to strengthen our energy sector’s resiliency and to support jobs and investment in a partnership to ensure safe, affordable electricity for our people. We will always support such initiatives that advance Puerto Rico’s energy security and economic growth.”

 

Alongside its LNG carrier operations, Crowley operates a full–service cargo terminal in San Juan, supporting container ships and roll–on/roll–off barges, including two LNG–fueled vessels, along with integrated logistics services.

 

The firm also supplies approximately 94 million gallons of LNG annually to industries across Puerto Rico from its LNG Loading Terminal in Peñuelas and provides transportation through ISO tank containers.
