The Maran Gas Achilles ship (Greek nationality) will transport 70,000 tonnes of LNG from Bontang port in Indonesia to Thi Vai LNG warehouse in Ba Ria – Vung Tau province in Vietnam.
Deputy General Director of PV Gas Tran Nhat Huy said that the company has completed the construction of the infrastructure of the Thi Vai LNG warehouse and is ready for LNG import and export with the official operation of the warehouse this July.
PV Gas said that LNG infrastructure will basically meet the energy demand for the Southern region in the future.
