A first cargo is being exported from Inpex’s Ichthys LNG project in Australia.

The 182,000-cbm newbuilding Pacific Breeze, which shipped in the project’s first cooldown cargo in April, has given notice today that it is loaded and ready to depart Ichthy’s LNG terminal near Darwin.

The vessel is due to arrive at Inpex’s Naoetsu LNG terminal in Japan on 30 October.
