Singapore's first LNG terminal project ahead of schedule

Singapore's first LNG terminal project ahead of schedule
Singapore: Singapore's first LNG terminal project is ahead of schedule with an overall 92% completion as at last month, according to Singapore LNG (SLNG), the state-owned terminal developer.

“SLNG is well placed to complete the terminal, ready for operational start-up by the second quarter of next year,” SLNG said.

All key civil works at the terminal will be ready by the end of July, with steady progress on the initial two storage tanks, SLNG said, adding that “progress on the third LNG tank continues ahead of schedule, and second berth piling works for both jetties and quay wall are progressing well.” The third tank is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2014.

The S$1.7bn ($1.35bn) project on Jurong Island has another S$400m planned expansion for another two storage tanks to meet potentially stronger demand from global gas players.
