Inpex in Ichthys LNG cargo milestone

Japan’s Inpex has shipped the 200th LNG cargo from its Ichthys liquefied natural gas export project in Australia.

The 145,000-cbm Energy Advance departed Darwin Harbour on Sunday afternoon carrying the milestone shipment to Chiba, Japan.

Since start-up in 2018, the Ichthys project exported in total 345 cargoes to customers around the globe. These include 54 LPG, 34 plant condensate and 57 field cargoes, according to Inpex.

Ichthys LNG is a joint venture between operator Inpex, major partner France’s Total. Other partners include Australian units of CPC Corporation Taiwan, Tokyo Gas, Osaka Gas, Kansai Electric Power, JERA and Toho Gas.
