The Woodside Jirrubakura has completed her first port call at Pluto LNG Facility in Western Australia’s north-west, marking an important milestone in GasLog’s ongoing mission to deliver reliable, lower-emissions LNG shipping solutions for the global energy transition.
Built in South Korea, as Woodside’s first LNG carrier to bear an Indigenous name, given in the Pilbara by local Ngarluma custodians. Jirrubakura—meaning crayfish— recognizes the region’s marine life and reflects Woodside’s respect for local culture and heritage.
In keeping with maritime tradition, Master Captain Ioannis Tsapelas was presented with a framed boomerang crafted from local snake wood (Marruwa), symbolizing the departure and return journeys the vessel will make.
Equipped with world-leading LNG carrier technology, Woodside Jirrubakura and her sister vessel Woodside Barrumbara embody GasLog’s vision of high-efficiency operations and reduced environmental impact. As the Scarborough project approaches completion, the vessel is already supporting LNG deliveries from other Woodside-operated facilities, ahead of first LNG cargo on the Scarborough Energy Project, targeted for the second half of 2026.
