To be shipped from the Petronas LNG complex in Bintulu, Sarawak and other supply sources, the volume is expected to meet the demand and requirements of CPC’s customers in Taiwan.

The contracts were signed in Kuala Lumpur, where MLNG was represented by its managing director / CEO Encik Zakaria Kasah, and PLL by its CEO Encik Mohamad Azmi Ahmad.

The signing of the new contracts is expected to further strengthen ties between the companies. Petronas began supplying LNG to CPC in 1995 through a 20-year contract for an annual supply of 2.25 million tonnes.

Set up in 1978, MLNG operates the Petronas LNG complex in Bintulu, claimed to be one of the world’s largest LNG complexes operating on a single site.
