OSLO, June 8 (Reuters) - Norway's Hammerfest LNG export terminal on Monday postponed the start of a planned annual maintenance outage until June 13, a spokesperson for operator Equinor EQNR.OL said.
Europe's largest export terminal for liquefied natural gas has a daily processing capacity of 18.4 million cubic metres of gas, accounting for roughly 5% of all Norwegian gas exports.
The outage was announced in January for June 8-11, but was changed on Monday to June 13-16.
The plant at Melkoeya island receives gas from the Snoehvit field in the Barents Sea, some 143 km (89 miles) offshore. Its owners are Equinor, Petoro, TotalEnergies TTEF.PA, Vaar Energi VAR.OL and Harbour Energy HBR.L.
