Samsung C&T awarded LNG contract in Malaysia
Samsung C&T Corporation, together with Science-Tech Solutions (STS), has been awarded a contract by Petronas Gas Berhad to build an LNG regasification terminal in Johor, Malaysia.
Samsung C&T will carry out the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) work for the regasification terminal, which will have a send-out capacity of 5 million tpa and two 200,000 m3 LNG storage tanks.

Commenting on the award, a representative from Samsung C&T said: “We feel privileged to participate in the RGT-2 project together with our partners.
