Canadian-produced natural gas doesn’t reach all the way to the East Coast, due to a lack of infrastructure, but Australian gas soon will.

A tanker carrying Australian liquified natural gas (LNG), the Maran Gas Hector, has made a journey of around 25,750 kilometres and will soon reach the Port of Saint John, N.B., Bloomberg News has reported.
