LNG

Toyo Engineering Corp. of Japan has been awarded two engineering and construction contracts in Thailand and Russia as it redirects its core business to petrochemicals after being involved in the global build-out of LNG liquefaction plants and import terminals, including the Sakhalin export facility in the Russian Far East and the largest Indian import terminal at Dahej near Mumbai.

Australia is expected to soon assume the title of the world’s largest LNG exporter and the Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will formally open the Japan-led Ichthys LNG export joint venture plant near Darwin on November 16 that will help make it happen.
