Project Profile
Value: US$1,320 million
Location: Fisherman\'s Landing in the Port of Gladstone, Australia
Start-up Year: 2014
Production: 3.0 million tonne per annum
The project will see the construction of an LNG plant at Fisherman\'s Landing in Gladstone, Queensland. Gladstone LNG Pty Ltd (Liquefied Natural Gas Limited) is developing a mid-scale (3.0 million tonne per annum) liquefied natural gas plant at Fisherman\'s Landing in the Port of Gladstone. The plant at Fisherman\'s Landing will purify and liquefy coal seam gas (CSG) into liquefied natural gas (LNG). It will then be loaded onto LNG carriers for export secured against long term LNG Sales Agreements. Gladstone LNG has planned the Project in two stages, with the first stage consisting of operating a single processing train (Train 1), which will provide a guaranteed capacity of 1.5 (nameplate 1.75) million tonnes of LNG per year. A second train (Train 2), will follow, which will double the operational capacity of the plant to a guaranteed 3.0 million tonnes of LNG per year. The expected life of the Project is 25 years. Due to the mid-scale production rate of the plant, LNG carriers will enter the port once every three weeks with the operation of Train 1.
This frequency will double when Train 2 is installed. During the LNG loading process, the LNG carrier will be berthed for approximately 24 hours. Gladstone LNG is a subsidiary of the publicly listed Australian company Liquefied Natural Gas Ltd (LNG Ltd). Gladstone LNG is responsible for the proposed planning, construction and operation of the LNG plant at Fisherman\'s Landing, including treatment and liquefaction facilities, storage tanks and jetty / ship loading facilities.The plant will purify and liquefy coal seam gas (CSG) into LNG. The CSG will be sourced from the gas fields, located in the Bowen Basin in Central Queensland. The CSG will be transported to Gladstone via the proposed 450 kilometre (279-mile) Central Queensland Gas Pipeline. once the CSG has been processed at the Gladstone LNG plant, it will then be loaded onto LNG carriers for export to the target markets of Southeast Asia and/or North America. The construction of a 21 km pipeline from the Callide Gas Hub to the proposed LNG plant is also part of this project.

ALE Heavylift: Completed the load-out of 111 modules bound for the Gladstone liquefied natural gas project in Australia. The modules, which were built by AG&P in the Philippines, ranged in weight from 31 tonnes to 1925 tonnes. ALE’s workscope, which was for load-out and not transportation, started in January 2013 and ended on 26 August 2014.
