The two companies signed a long-term sale and purchase agreement last year for the supply of LNG to Tiger Gas' LNG ISO tank filling facility in Bintulu, Sarawak. As part of this agreement, Petronas’ LNG will be distributed to China using Tiger’s ISO tanks, with the first shipment delivered from Bintulu Port to the Port of Long Kou on March 25.
“This inaugural LNG ISO tank export from Peninsular Malaysia is an innovative solution that enables LNG to reach off-grid customers, not only domestically, but also internationally, extending the reach of our virtual pipeline system offering that we have started since late last year,” said Petronas vice president of LNG marketing and trading, Shamsairi Ibrahim.
