SINGAPORE: Brunei LNG has delivered its first cargo of liquefied natural gas (LNG) since it announced an outage of its onshore compressor plants in May, according to shiptracking data and a statement from the cargo recipient.
PetroVietnam Gas said on Wednesday evening it had received an LNG cargo on the Amani vessel from PetroChina International, which had loaded in Brunei.
Shiptracking data from analytics firms Kpler and LSEG show that the Amani vessel departed Lumut port in Brunei on June 2 and arrived at Vietnam’s Thi Vai terminal on June 12.
The Kpler and LSEG data also show that the Amali vessel departed Brunei on June 6, and is bound to arrive at Tianjin, China on June 15 or 16.
Brunei LNG did not immediately respond to a request for comment. It said last month it is working on restarting its onshore compressor plants following an outage on May 20, but did not give a reason for the outage or when the plants would resume operations.
Brunei LNG’s plant has a capacity of 7.2 million metric tons per year.
Brunei LNG is 50 per cent owned by the government of Brunei, and the rest is split equally between Japan’s Mitsubishi Corp and Shell.
