Vice Minister Namho Choe attended the completion ceremony of POSCO International’s Gwangyang LNG Terminal No. 1 on July 9, held in South Jeolla Province.

 

The KRW 1.05 trillion Gwangyang LNG Terminal project commenced in 2002 as the first private-led LNG terminal, housing six LNG tanks (930,000kl), 680 metric tons per hour gasification and transmission facilities, as well as port facilities capable of berthing a 180,000m3 LNG carrier.

 

In his congratulatory message, Vice Minister Choe mentioned plans to foster an environment for creating nationwide synergy through mutual cooperation and competition between the Korea Gas Corporation (KOGAS) and the private sector.

 

The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) aims to launch a deliberative committee in the latter half of this year to support the objective and fair decision process regarding the use of pipelines and controlling the natural gas charge volume per terminal.
