By Liza Mohd

Bandar Seri Begawan - Brunei LNG Sdn Bhd yesterday morning hosted an official visit of the president of Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco), a major customer from Japan, to the BLNG plant in Lumut.

Tepco imports 117 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas from BLNG.

Tepco President Tsunehisa Katsumata and his delegation were welcomed by BLNG Managing Director Fred Smeenk and the management teams.

Smeenk briefed the visitors on the company's operations and future plans, which include the current rejuvenation programmes. The delegates toured the plant, the control room, the liquefaction trains and loading jetty.

The Tepco president is leading a fivemember delegation for a two-day visit to Brunei.

BLNG has delivered more than 176 million tones of LNG to Japan of which over half of the total LNG is exported to Tokyo Electric. BLNG exports six million tonnes of LNG per annum to its three customers in Japan.

Tepco's supplies are approximately equivalent to one third of Japan's electricity, which distributes it to 28 million industries, commercial and individual customers in Tokyo and surrounding areas. LNG accounts for one quarter of Tepco's total fuel requirements with Brunei LNG as its key supplier. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
