Marubeni, PTT Plan LNG Bunkering in Thailand

Marubeni Corporation started a joint feasibility study with PTT Public Company Limited, Thailand`s national petroleum and petrochemical company, which aims at implementing LNG refueling to ships in Laem Chabang Port, the largest industrial port in Thailand. The regulation of exhaust gas will be tightened from 2020, and since LNG is an environmentally friendly fuel, ships that use LNG for fuel (LNG fueled ships) are expected to increase. In Laem Chabang Port, where more than 8,000 ships arrive and leave annually, a third expansion plan is being implemented with the demand for LNG bunkering expected to grow in this area due to increased exports and the tightening of environmental regulations.

The cargo arrived on board the Q-Max LNG vessel, Bu Samra, on 5th August.

Since then, Qatargas has supplied PTT with approximately 9 million tons of LNG, delivering  most of these cargoes via Q-Flex vessels.
