Atlantic LNG Company of Trinidad and Tobago was formed in July 1995 to develop a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant in the Caribbean. The venture was created by one local company NGC – National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago, with four international companies: BP, BG, Repsol and Cabot. Cabot's shareholding in Atlantic LNG has been acquired by Suez (formerly Tractebel).

Each of the five partner companies in Atlantic LNG has expertise in activities associated with the production, transportation, marketing and distribution of LNG.

The plant has been built at Point Fortin, situated in the south-western coast of the Caribbean island of Trinidad, the larger of the two islands that form the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. The Administrative Office is currently located in Port of Spain, the capital city.

At Atlantic, we pledge to protect the environment, the health and safety of our employees and that of the community in which we operate. This commitment is demonstrated in the way the plant is designed, built and operated. We designed to internationally accepted standards, operate with no compromise in the safety of our employees. We employ a state-of the-art Emergency Response System at our facility, and are ready to cooperate with community organisations to meet any emergency the community might experience.

In 2002, the company was ISO 14001 certified, signaling its commitment to an Environmental Management System that is independently audited to internationally accepted standards.

Our commitment to education and the environment is extended through our involvement in the Fulbright Scholarship Programme which gives support to post graduate study in the field of environmental studies.

Organisations and institutions involved in the creation of a greater awareness of the necessity to preserve the environment has been supported financially by Atlantic. The Point Fortin Area Hospital has received a new incinerator to assist in the management of hazardous waste generated by the hospital. The same hospital has had its Resuscitation Room created and equipped with the help of Atlantic.

By leveraging the expertise of our shareholders, Atlantic has been able to provide training in LNG safety management to boost the capabilities of the Point Fortin Fire Services. The trained officers have been able to share their learnings with a wider audience.
