In the context of the world energy market diễn biến phức tạp, especially the instability in the Middle East affecting global supply, Vietnam Gas Corporation (PV GAS) has completed receiving 2 LNG vessels in early April 2026 with a total output of about 60,000 tons (equivalent to about 80 million Sm3 of natural gas), accumulated more than 123,000 tons of LNG since the beginning of 2026, making an important contribution to ensuring gas sources for electricity production during the peak dry season, making an important contribution to ensuring national energy security.
Implementing the LNG import plan for phase 2 of 2026, PV GAS successfully received the second ship of the year named DAPENG PRINCESS from the Malaysian cargo port on April 3, 2026 at Thi Vai LNG Warehouse, with an output of about 32,700 tons. Following that, on April 8, 2026, the third ship KOOL BLIZZARD from the Brunei cargo port was also received, adding about 27,300 tons of LNG to the system.
The total output of the two LNG trips this time is nearly 60,000 tons and accumulated more than 123,000 tons (equivalent to about 167 million Sm3 of natural gas) since the beginning of 2026. All this gas is quickly put into reprocessing by PV GAS and supplied to the gas system, contributing to ensuring stable supply for power plants and industrial customers.
The timely completion of receiving two LNG vessels is of particular importance in the context of declining domestic gas sources, while the demand for gas consumption for power generation is increasing to meet the demand for electricity load in the dry season. This activity clearly demonstrates the proactive and flexible role of PV GAS in diversifying supply sources, ensuring safe and continuous operation of the national gas and electricity system.
Notably, in parallel with import activities, PV GAS has just completed the increase in the rechemical capacity of Thi Vai LNG Storage to 288 tons/hour, equivalent to about 9.5 million Sm3/day. This capacity increase not only helps increase the capacity to receive and process LNG but also improves flexibility and proactiveness in coordinating gas sources, promptly meeting market demand.
As a result, the capacity to receive, store and recycle LNG at Thi Vai LNG Storage continues to be effectively promoted, gradually affirming its role as an important energy infrastructure, contributing to improving the autonomy and flexibility of the Vietnamese gas market.
In the coming time, PV GAS will continue to promote LNG imports, optimize gas infrastructure operation and proactively coordinate supply sources, thereby contributing to maintaining national energy security, ensuring stable energy sources for economic development and people's lives.
