Myanmar ends four-year LNG hiatus with trial cargo from Malaysia

Myanmar had first started importing LNG in June 2020 with Malaysia's Petronas delivering its first cargo to CNTIC VPower, a joint venture of Chinese state-owned engineering, procurement and construction firm China National Technical Import and Export Corporation (CNTIC) and Hong Kong-based power distributor VPower Group.

But the Southeast Asian nation halted imports just over a year later after a military coup, receiving a total of 550,000 tonnes of LNG since beginning imports. Prior to last month's shipment, it last received an LNG cargo in August 2021, according to Kpler data.
