Australia Pacific LNG resumes production and cargo loading

Production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and the loading of cargoes have resumed at Australia Pacific LNG (APLNG), said operator ConocoPhillips , after a loaded tanker that was stuck at the facility was moved. The disabled tanker, the Cesi Qingdao, had lost power on Nov. 22, leading to a halt in shipments because it blocked other tankers from entering the facility on Curtis Island off Australia's east coast. "ConocoPhillips Australia can confirm that the CESI Qingdao LNG vessel was moved from the APLNG LNG facility early Friday morning and we have now safely resumed LNG production as well as loading of LNG cargoes," a company spokesperson said on Monday.
