Tokyo Gas rejects vessel carrying US LNG after engine malfunction at Tokyo Bay

Japanese utility Tokyo Gas Co. Ltd. has rejected the delivery of an LNG cargo sourced from the U.S. aboard the carrier Energy Atlantic, after the vessel suffered a power outage and engine malfunction shortly after entering Tokyo Bay on Oct. 10, a source with Tokyo Gas said.

The engine has been restarted and the vessel, fully loaded with a cargo from Cheniere Energy Inc.'s Corpus Christi LNG, is now prepared to depart from the port, an official with Yokohama Coast Guard said Oct. 10.

Tokyo Gas has rejected the delivery at its Negishi terminal for safety reasons, as the causes of the outage are still unknown, a Tokyo Gas spokesperson said.

The vessel, built in 2015, has a capacity of roughly 160,000 cubic meters, according to S&P Global Platts ship-tracking software cFlow.
