KUCHING: Malaysian-owned oil and gas company Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) will supply immediate additional liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargo to Japan, to cater for the increase in LNG requirements.
According to a company statement yesterday, Petronas was liaising with its Japanese counterparts to supply the immediate additional LNG cargo from its LNG portfolio sources. It was also working with its buyer in the Far East on possible cargo swaps, advancements and diversions. At the same time, Petronas was also contributing through involvement with ‘Mercy Malaysia’, a non-profit international emergency response and medical relief organisation that was already in Japan after the March 11, 2011 disaster.
