CIMC ENRIC to deliver tanks for LNG port

CIMC ENRIC Holding Ltd－the energy, chemical and liquid food equipment manufacturing unit of China International Marine Containers (Group) Ltd, will deliver in 2018 two liquefied natural gas storage tanks with a capacity of 160,000 cubic meters each to its client in Zhoushan, Zhejiang province, said a senior executive on Wednesday.


Sun Hongli, the company's deputy general manager, said this is part of China's first approved demonstration project to use LNG to fuel international vessels.


The design, procurement and construction work will be completed by Nanjing Yangzi Petrochemical Design Engineering Co Ltd and Germany-based TGE Gas Engineering GmbH, two subsidiaries of CIMC ENRIC.


CIMC ENRIC completed constructing the pile foundation of these two LNG storage tanks for its client－the Langfang-based ENN Group earlier this month.


ENN's LNG fueling terminal project is located in the Marine Industry Cluster Zone of the Zhoushan Archipelago New Area.


The total investment for this project is 10 billion yuan ($1.5 billion). The project is divided into three phases. When completed and put into operation, the annual LNG handling capacity will reach 10 million tons.
