OSLO (Reuters) - The planned restart of Equinor's Hammerfest liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant, which was evacuated and shut earlier this week due to a gas leak, has been postponed until Saturday, transparency data showed on Friday.

The Norwegian energy group had previously said it planned to restart production on Friday at 1000 GMT after the gas leak had been repaired.

The outage at the plant, also known as Melkoeya, is now listed to end on Saturday at 1000 GMT on a transparency website maintained by gas infrastructure operator Gassco.

It could also restart earlier, an Equinor spokesperson said.
