As the Wall Street Journal [subscription required] quotes from the Court's opinion, "substantial evidence supports FERC's conclusion that any threat of increased leakage is due to defects in WGL's system, but we grant WGL's petition because substantial evidence does not support FERC's conclusion that WGL can address safety concerns before the project’s in-service date." The Court went on to reject WGL's claim that the terminal operator, Dominion Cove Point, must pay to fix WGL's system, finding that the "unblended LNG meets the specifications WGL accepted in its tariff and FERC reasonably concluded WGL should be responsible for paying to adapt its system to fulfill its commitments."]]>Blog Entryhttp://www.lnglawblog.com/BlogEntry.aspx?_entry=1a7e9b82-4a58-490d-bca8-42dd287e7dbe&RSS=truehttp://www.lnglawblog.com/BlogEntry.aspx?_entry=1a7e9b82-4a58-490d-bca8-42dd287e7dbe&RSS=trueMon, 21 Jul 2008 13:39:34 GMTCalais LNG, told the New Brunswick Telegraph-Journal (Canada) that he believes that the issues surrounding LNG vessel transit through the Head Harbour Passage will be resolved before Calais LNG is constructed and operational.
