The cargo was delivered from PETRONAS LNG Complex in Bintulu, Sarawak to Toyama-Shinko Terminal by Seri Amanah, the LNG vessel chartered by MLNG and operated by PETRONAS’ subsidiary MISC Bhd (MISC).

PETRONAS Vice President of LNG Marketing & Trading, Ahmad Adly Alias and President of Hokuriku Electric, Yutaka Kanai attended the commissioning cargo ceremony at the Toyama-Shinko Terminal, Japan.
