Australian LNG Strike Begins to Disrupt Cargo Loadings at Ichthys

Industrial action at the Ichthys LNG project offshore Australia has started to affect loadings, with Reuters reporting that one tanker has been delayed as a result of the limited strike.

The strike, limited to two hours in the mornings and two hours in the evenings, began earlier this week, after trade unions representing workers at Ichthys and the operator of the project, Japan’s Inpex, failed to reach an agreement on wages and working conditions.
