Nexus added in its disclosure issued Tuesday that the vessel is slated to start inspection and rectification works on arrival, weather permitting.
"All parties are working cooperatively to identify and remedy the fault and return the plant to continuous production as quickly as possible," Nexus said in its disclosure.
