KUALA LUMPUR: Petronas LNG Sdn Bhd (PLSB), a subsidiary of Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas), has entered into a strategic liquefied natural gas (LNG) arrangement with the Japan Organisation for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC).
In a statement today, Petronas said the PLSB has signed a memorandum of cooperation (MOC) with JOGMEC to expand the collaboration framework in the LNG sector.
"The cooperation is set to pave the way for further discussions on strengthening LNG supply to Japan, including measures to ensure supply stability and manage potential disruptions,” it said.
It said the agreement was signed during the Energy Asia 2025 conference held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre last week to strengthen LNG supply to Japan, including measures to ensure supply stability and manage potential disruptions.
Petronas LNG’s vice-president of marketing and trading, Shamsairi Mohd Ibrahim, said this partnership is a testament to its role as the key reliable LNG supplier to Japan since 1983.
"This partnership is especially timely, aligning with the momentum of Energy Asia, where regional collaboration and strengthening the region’s energy security were at the forefront of the dialogues,” he said.
The MOC was signed by Shamsairi and JOGMEC executive vice-president of energy business, Hiroyuki Mori. - Bernama
