Cameron LNG LLC said it is loading cargoes on schedule even after it declared force majeure at its export terminal in Louisiana on Sept. 13 due to technical problems.
Cameron LNG said it does not comment on commercial arrangements with its customers, but it "continues to produce LNG from train 1 and is loading cargoes in accordance with the lifting schedules" with its customers, a spokesperson for the LNG company said in an emailed statement Sept. 16.
Addressing technical problems at its facility, Cameron LNG said its contractors determined there is an issue related to an electrical component, and the teams are working to resolve the matter.
Sempra Energy-led Cameron LNG started commercial operations in August under tolling agreements after it secured federal approval in July to begin commercial service on the first train. Startup of the second and third trains would bring the estimated total off-take capacity to 12 million tonnes per annum, completing the $10 billion first phase of the project. The schedules for the second and third gas liquefaction trains remain unchanged, the spokesperson said.
The Cameron LNG project is jointly owned by affiliates of Sempra LNG LLC, Total SA, Mitsui & Co. Ltd., and a company jointly owned by Mitsubishi Corp. and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha.
