The terminal’s annual receiving capacity will be expanded to seven million tonnes in the second phase development, which will begin based on market needs.

CNOOC Oil & Gas owns 30% of the terminal while Guangdong Yudean Group, which supplies most of the electricity in the southern province, holds a 25% stake.
