His Majesty visits BLNG booth
His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam consented to visit the Brunei Liquefied Natural Gas (BLNG) exhibition booth yesterday at the get-together ceremony in conjunction with His Majesty’s 65th birthday celebration in the Belait District.
According to Mohammad Sofian Kipli, BLNG’s external affairs advisor, the booth showcased BLNG’s 40 years of achievements.
“BLNG celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2009 and we exhibited our historical milestones by decades in poster forms to make it easier for the public to understand,” he explained.
Other exhibits displayed included their employment as well as engineering and technical training schemes for ‘O’ and ‘A’ Level school leavers up to HND graduates.
Also mentioned on the posters were BLNG’s relations and roles with overseas clients as well as their relationship with Brunei Shell Tankers and Brunei Shell Petroleum.
Currently, BLNG has eight carriers of which seven are owned by Brunei Shell Tankers plying a 4000-kilometre route between Brunei Darussalam, Korea and Japan.
Each of the seven ships carries an approximate load of 75,000 cubic metres of liquefied natural gas.
The tankers dock in Japan every two to three days.
Brunei Darussalam’s LNG is delivered to terminals near Tokyo and Osaka, Japan’s two largest cities for the purpose of electricity generation. Brunei Darussalam accounts for 15 per cent of Japan’s LNG imports.
In Korea, the LNG is delivered to two receiving facilities at PyeongTaek and Incheon ports, while plans for the development of a third terminal at TongYoung are well under way.
Bits of everything.
