LNG

Japan’s liquefied natural gas imports rebounded last month with steady volumes from the Middle East and Australia and higher cargo numbers from Russia and the US, though LNG deliveries were outpaced by thermal coal shipments.

JERA Co. Inc., the Japanese utility and energy company and the world’s largest LNG buyer, said Chita LNG terminal in Aichi Prefecture received its 4,000th shipment with the arrival of the 126,000 cubic metres capacity “Senshu Maru” carrying volumes from Indonesia.
