Malaysia's Kuching LNG Terminal Sees First Gas Target Set for End-2029

Höegh Evi and PETROS have partnered to develop an LNG import terminal in Kuching, Malaysia. The project aims to provide a natural gas supply for power generation in the region and is part of the Kuching Low-Carbon development. The terminal will comprise a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU), mooring infrastructure, subsea and onshore pipelines, and onshore receiving facilities.
