The project, located in the city of Yancheng, will include a berth to anchor 100,000 tonne vessels, land-based storage and a pipeline grid and is expected to be completed in December 2020, the official local newspaper Xinhua Daily reported, without saying how it received the information.
The storage tanks will each have a storage capacity of 220,000 cubic metres, or roughly 90,000 tonnes, the paper said, without giving the total planned storage capacity at the site.
CNOOC, parent of CNOOC Ltd, is China’s largest operator of LNG import terminals.
