Platts resumes publication of port nominations for Australia's Ichthys LNG in its MOC assessment process

Effective immediately, on June 18, Platts, part of S&P Global Energy, has resumed the publication of offers in the LNG Market on Close assessment process whereby port nominations reflect Australia's Ichthys LNG loading port.

Platts had previously suspended the publishing of offers with nominations of the load port on June 16 due to protected industrial action at the project: https://www.spglobal.com/energy/en/pricing-benchmarks/our-methodology/subscriber-notes/061626-platts-suspends-port-nominations-of-australias-ichthys-lng-in-its-moc-assessment-process

Cargo loading had restarted following the end of industrial action at the Ichthys LNG facilities on June 17.
