Nigeria LNG Ltd. cancelled several liquefied natural gas shipments after vandalism on pipelines from gas fields disrupted production, according to people with direct knowledge of the matter.
The company declared an additional force majeure on LNG cargoes for export, and cancelled loading of at least two scheduled for January delivery from the Bonny Island facility, according to two people, who asked not to be identified because the matter is private. As many as ten shipments were cancelled, one of the people said.
Nigeria has been a key LNG supplier to Europe over the last year, helping to partially plug the gap created by the loss of Russian supply. Imports from the African producer made up about 7% of Europe’s LNG supply last year, data compiled by BloombergNEF said.
