About 1.80 million tonnes of LNG or 28 cargoes left the three Gladstone terminals on Curtis Island last month, GPC’s data shows.
This compares to about 1.89 million tonnes of LNG or 28 cargoes in May 2024.
May LNG exports also decreased compared to 2 million tonnes of LNG or 31 cargoes in April this year.
Curtis Island hosts the Santos-operated GLNG plant, the ConocoPhillips-led APLNG terminal, and Shell’s QCLNG facility.
These are the only LNG export facilities on Australia’s east coast.
