May 19 (LNGJ) - Chinese LNG imports in April 2023 rose by 10 percent to 4.77 million tonnes compared with 4.34MT in April 2022, according to China’s General Administration of Customs.
Analysts noted that the increase was from an already low base as the April 2022 deliveries took place during Covid-19 lockdowns in large cities like Shanghai when economic and industrial activity were curbed along with fuel demand. The Chinese LNG deliveries in April 2022 had also been the lowest total for more than two years.
