Changfeng Completes LNG Shipment to China

Canada-listed but China-focused gas distributor Changfeng Energy said November 13 that its trial run of an LNG shipment from Canada to China using ISO-containers has been successfully completed.  

The LNG shipment from the Vancouver port was arranged by Changfeng and it arrived at the Shanghai port November 8 and has now cleared customs, it said. The LNG was sourced from a British Columbia-based energy provider, and Sanya Changfeng Offshore Natural Gas Distribution, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Changfeng, is the importer in China.  

The LNG received in Shanghai will be sold to Hebei Riheng Clean Energy, a controlled subsidiary of Changfeng, and will be transported to Hebei to support the LNG distribution services of Riheng Energy to areas where pipeline gas is not accessible. Changfeng said it had obtained an export order from the Canadian National Energy Board for the LNG export and that Sanya Changfeng had received all necessary permits for the LNG import in China.

Changfeng said it is seeking to broaden its supply base beyond that in China, to sources such as Canada, in order to benefit from opportunities in respect of LNG supply.
