Last month, the project took delivery of the Samsung Heavy Industries-built, 155,000-cbm Tangguh Palung from K Line and PT Meratus Line.

The six vessels are currently idle as they wait for the project to start up. Buyers from the project said the first cargo is now expected to be exported in early May.

The final vessel in the fleet, the 155,000-cbm Tangguh Sago, is due to be delivered by Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries in May.
