LNG shipments: Sakhalin cargoes stall for planned maintenance.
Sakhalin LNG cargoes cut for maintenance
The Sakhalin Energy liquefied natural gas group has halved its LNG output until end-November due to planned maintenance, a company spokesman said today.
"The maintenance started on 23 October and will last around one month. We have only one LNG train working right now," Ivan Chernyakhovsky said.
The group, controlled by Russian gas export monopoly Gazprom and comprising supermajor Shell and Japan's Mitsui and Mitsubishi, has already exceeded its LNG output target for this year, he said in a Reuters report.
"We have already loaded 60 cargoes instead of planned 55," he said.
Sakhalin Energy supplies LNG to Japan, South Korea and the United States.
