Cabot LNG, the largest U.S. liquefied natural gas importer and distributor in the Northeast, agreed last Thursday to sell 100% of its assets to Tractebel of Brussels, Belgium for $680 million. The deal will give Tractebel the LNG terminal in Everett, MA, along with 10% interest in a liquefaction facility in Trinidad and Tobago and the LNG tanker, Matthew. The transaction is set to close by the beginning of September.
