Why was Atlantic LNG's Train 4 shut down, and how long is the outage expected to last?

Atlantic LNG’s Train 4 was shut down for planned maintenance—not due to any operational fault or unplanned disruption—as confirmed by NGC Chairman Gerald Ramdeen. The outage is expected to last nearly two months and could remove as much as half of Atlantic LNG’s total production capacity during that period.

What is the capacity of Train 4, and how does it compare to Atlantic LNG’s overall export capability?

Train 4 has a capacity of about 6 million metric tons per annum (mtpa), which constitutes roughly half of Atlantic LNG’s total export capacity of approximately 12 million metric tons per annum—making it a critical component of the facility’s output.
