Japanese engineer JGC has boosted its LNG sector backlog in the latest fiscal year. It reported 351 billion yen ($4.29 billion) in outstanding contracts to end-March, up from 237 billion yen in the 2009-2010 fiscal year.
In a results briefing, chief executive Keisuke Takeuchi said demand for LNG infrastructure should increase in the medium to long term as a result of the March quake in Japan.
