Sinopec said it is expecting to import 7.6m tonnes of LNG each year from the APLNG project between 2015 to 2035. China Shipping Group will provide shipping services for the clean gas project.

At the end of last year, DSIC had signed letters of intent with Tianjin Marine to build four new LNG carriers.
