During the two-year trial, CNOOC will send LNG from the Guangxi, Zhuhai, Zhejiang and Tianjin LNG terminals to central China via trains, said Wang Si, head of the company's LNG ISO Tank Container Intermodal Transport project.
It is aiming to transport 1 million tonnes per year of LNG through so-called ISO tank containers, over 2019-2021, increasing this to 2 mtpa (metric tonnes per annum) by 2022-2023, he added.
