Malaysia expects to see its first LNG import terminal operational by the end of August.

Petronas Gas & Power vice president Anuar Ahmad told reporters at the World Gas Conference in Kuala Lumpur that the country’s new jetty-based, 3.8-million tonnes per annum facility near Malacca will take in a commissioning cargo from Petronas’ Bintulu production plant in mid-July.

He said Petronas has secured a number of cargoes on a short-term basis to supply the facility.
