Development of LNG Market in China

  At 17:00 on October 23, six liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanks filled from Dalian LNG Terminal of Kunlun Energy arrived at Weihai Port, Shandong Province, via combined sea and land transportation, and were directly transported to the end users. This marks the successful commercial operation of the first batch of LNG tank container sea land intermodal transport in China, and has achieved a breakthrough in this business in China. Dalian LNG Terminal is the only operating terminal in Northeast China. In response to the national energy security development strategy, improve the regional energy supply linkage mechanism, and implement PetroChina's LNG integrated development strategy, Kunlun Energy Dalian LNG Co., Ltd. started to develop LNG tank container multimodal transport business last March, actively promoted the construction of Northeast Asia LNG logistics distribution center, and explored LNG tank container multimodal transport mode. With the development of China's LNG market, LNG terminal receiver demand has a trend of wide distribution and flexible batch. However, the current pipeline network has problems such as insufficient coverage and single transportation mode, which cannot fully cope with market changes. The diversified consumer demand urgently needs to develop new transportation modes. The LNG multimodal transport mode based on tank containers has solved the problem of LNG energy transport that has plagued the industry for a long time, and changed the traditional transport and storage methods. With tank containers as the carrier, the mode integrates multiple transport modes, such as land, water, road, and railway, it can provide the terminal users with "door-to-door" LNG logistics services economically, flexibly, and stably, not only breaking the bottleneck of traditional energy trade, It has established the domestic coastal cross regional sea land intermodal transport business operation mode, effectively increased the energy distribution channels, and created a new green energy supply mode, which will effectively accelerate the resource balance and allocation among regions, and ensure the national and regional energy supply security. Zhang Bingbing, the person in charge of the LNG tank container sea land intermodal transport project of Kunlun Energy Dalian LNG Company, introduced that this was the first commercial operation of LNG tank sea land intermodal transport business in China, marking that Dalian LNG Terminal opened the logistics channel of offshore LNG tanks from Liaodong Peninsula to Jiaodong Peninsula, and realized the coverage of LNG terminal markets around the Bohai Sea and southeast coast. The project team of Kunlun Energy Dalian LNG Company, through many demonstrations, has compiled and completed the multimodal transport operation procedures for tank containers, solved the key technical problems such as multiple tank container certification standards, LNG filling, sea land intermodal transport, broke the technical barriers to tank container filling, solved the problems such as tank yard, ship shore docking, LNG tank loading and unloading in sea land intermodal transport, and provided technical support for the company to continue to carry out tank container multimodal transport business.
