Sinopec's Qingdao Terminal Receives 300th Cargo
Sinopec-operated Qingdao LNG import terminal, located in the port city of Qingdao in Shandong province, received its 300th cargo on March 27, Sinopec said the same day.
The 70,000 metric ton cargo arrived onboard vessel Zhongheng Lianyungang. With this, the terminal, which came online over five years ago, has unloaded a total of over 21mn mt of LNG.
In August 2018, Sinopec said the second phase of the terminal has been officially approved by Shandong provincial government. Once the second phase is complete, the terminal’s handling capacity will more than double to 7mn mt/yr. In the second phase, the company will add two 160,000 m3 storage tanks to the terminal. Sinopec will also build new warehouses and acquire additional land near the terminal.
In addition to Qingdao, Sinopec operates receiving terminals at Tianjin and Beihai.
