Singapore to Build Second LNG Terminal

Reuters - Singapore plans to build a second terminal for liquefied natural gas (LNG), as it aims to create a regional trading hub for the fuel, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Tuesday. The city-state - located strategically on the main shipping route between Europe and Asia - started commercial operations of its first LNG terminal in May last year with an initial capacity of 3.5 million metric tons per year (tpy). A new storage tank that increases the capacity to 6 million tpy was officially opened on Tuesday.
