The Point Lisas inspection market
Point Lisas Industrial Estate, on Trinidad's west coast near Couva, is the Caribbean's largest petrochemical and LNG-adjacent industrial complex — Atlantic LNG's liquefaction trains, the National Gas Company (NGC) pipeline network, Methanol Holdings Trinidad Limited's methanol/ammonia plants, and Yara Trinidad's ammonia production. Continuous ammonia-reactor and pipeline turnarounds drive steady multi-method NDT demand distinct from Trinidad's wider upstream sector.
