Japan's Hokkaido Gas to start operations at new LNG tank
9/16/2016
(Reuters) Japanese city gas supplier Hokkaido Gas Co. said its newly built 200,000-kiloliter No.2 LNG tank at its Ishikari LNG terminal would start operations by accepting the first delivery of gas from an LNG tanker September 17.
The LNG storage capacity at the terminal in northern Japan increased to 380,000 kiloliter from 180,000 kiloliter with the addition, which enables the fully-laden LNG tanker to be unloaded at the terminal, the company said in a statement. It previously had to unload gas at two ports due to lack of capacity.
