Ichthys LNG Project arranging insurance for the facilities during construction period

Posted 28 February 2013

INPEX CORPORATION (INPEX) is pleased to announce today that the INPEX-led Ichthys LNG Project has completed insurance arrangements for project facilities related to the Ichthys LNG project during the construction period prior to the production start-up scheduled by the end of 2016.

These insurance policies provide covers against risks such as property damage and third-party liabilities for Subsea Production System (SPS), Umbilicals / Risers / Flow lines (URF), Central Processing Facility (CPF), Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO), Gas Export Pipeline (GEP), Onshore Gas Liquefaction Plant in Darwin and other facilities constructed.

INPEX is committed to recognising and respecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples whose cultures have existed in Australia for more than 65,000 years.

In particular, we acknowledge the Larrakia people as the recognised Traditional Owners of the land and waters where Ichthys LNG onshore facilities are located, in addition to the Whadjuk Nyoongar people on whose lands our Perth office is situated. Furthermore, Broome and Djarindjin are important logistical locations for transit of our offshore workforce, and we therefore extend our acknowledgement to the Yawuru, Bardi and Jawi peoples, respectively.

INPEX acknowledges the important role Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples continue to play in the development of our business in Australia and pay our respects to their Elders – past and present.
