Disruption at the Dunkirk liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal operated by Fluxys ended on Friday morning, a company spokesperson said, with shipping data showing a tanker carrying LNG from Russia has docked at the site.<\/p>\n

Operations at the terminal have been disrupted since March 6 by strike action against the French government’s planned pension changes, which President Emmanuel Macron decided to push through without a vote Thursday, causing violent unrest overnight.<\/p>\n

Refinitiv data showed the ship Fedor Litke, carrying 160,000 billion cubic metres (bcm) of LNG from Yamal, Russia, had arrived at the terminal, the first since the strike action began.<\/p>\n

“We have resumed our activities,” a Fluxys spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

A union official said the morning shift decided to follow the initial decision to reopen the terminal. The official added that a new general assembly, where members will vote on further disruptions, is expected early next week.<\/p>\n

The official had said on Thursday evening that the action was expected to continue until Monday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

No ships have yet been seen docking at the three other French LNG terminals operated by Engie subsidiary Elengy, a Refinitiv analyst said.<\/p>\n

An Elengy representative was not immediately available for comment on whether the situation had changed at its terminals. A company spokesperson had previously said the three terminals were expected to remain blocked until March 21.<\/p>\n
