Venture Global receives partial arbitration award against it in Galp LNG dispute
An ICC arbitration tribunal ruled 2-1 in a partial final award that Venture Global's VGCP unit breached its obligation to timely declare commercial operation of the Calcasieu Project under its SPA with Galp. Remedies will be set in a damages hearing not yet scheduled, expected in 2027 or 2028, and the final award will be capped at $170 million, which the company says does not change ongoing deliveries.
Key points
- Tribunal found VGCP breached its obligation to declare COD on time; one of three arbitrators dissented.
- Final award expected after a damages hearing anticipated in 2027 or 2028; final award subject to a $170 million seller aggregate liability cap.
- Company says it is disappointed, is evaluating all options, and notes 20 cargos delivered to Galp since COD on April 15, 2025.
