China Gas to Start LNG Bunkering from Next Year

China Gas Holding is going to start LNG bunkering next year in a response to the central government’s promotion of clean energy in ships and vehicles, reported SinoShip News.

The company is in the process of updating LNG facilities at some port terminals and will provide LNG bunkering service on the Yangtze River, the news report added.

“There are lots of vessels which will be converted to LNG power, so there is a big potential in the LNG bunkering market,” said Liang Yongchang, vice president of China Gas.

The plan is to first sign cooperation deals with shipping companies and set up LNG bunkering terminals according to their shipping routes, SinoShip News reported.
