MEXICO CITY, Feb 19 (Reuters) - A tanker carrying liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the United States will arrive on Friday at the Manzanillo terminal on the Pacific coast, Refinitiv Eikon data showed, part of emergency purchases to ease gas shortages in the country.

The Marshall Island-flagged tanker Flex Courageous is expected to discharge about 162,850 cubic meters of LNG which will supply Mexican power plants.

A second LNG cargo also from the United States on the Seri Balhaf tanker is waiting to discharge at Mexico's Altamira terminal on the Gulf coast, the data showed.
