Speaker A

I was very impressed by the size of the port as well as the depth of the area that the ship can dock here, and the facility overall, I'm very impressed. There's great potential for this port. We have a 41-foot tidal range, so we can load as the ship goes up and down. So these are commodities that we were able to build a port around. And these are our projected future commodities, of which LNG is one of them.

[SPEAKING JAPANESE] ERI, the parent company of REI, started looking at Alaska about 3.5 years ago, and Port McKenzie was identified as the ideal location for a small-scale LNG export project. We're talking about 1 million tons a year or 160 million cubic feet a day. And the receiving ports for the Japan side would be Miyazuru and Kyoto. [FOREIGN LANGUAGE] We're looking at hopefully getting this project into feed here in the coming months. But we feel like we're, we're getting close and we're very optimistic.
