Problem-Plagued Freeport LNG Down Again After Shipping Cargo

Two days ago, MDN reported that an LNG cargo vessel had left the Freeport LNG dock partially loaded (see Problem-Plagued Freeport LNG Finally (!) Exports Another Cargo). We thought perhaps that Freeport, which has had a string of problems since opening, had finally turned a corner and was returning one of the three trains to active duty. Nope. We should have known when we read the ship left only half-loaded that something was still wrong. Both Reuters and NGI are reporting Train 3 liquefaction is back offline again following a problem with the main cryogenic heat exchanger.
