The LNG tanker Amur River had its scheduled entry to San Juan Bay cancelled on Monday, after recorded wind speeds exceeded allowed limits for the vessel.[^1]

Maritime pilot Kenneth Díaz cancelled the docking after recording 17 knot sustained winds at the vessel's anchorage. A court order had set a 10 knot maximum wind limit for entry to the bay.[^2]

New Fortress Energy confirmed all arrival preparations for the tanker had been completed as of October 12. The company had received formal port entry approval from US Customs and Border Protection earlier that month.[^3] [^4]
