PV GAS Launches LNG Transportation Journey from North to South: A Breakthrough in the Energy Sector

In September 2024, the Vietnam Gas Corporation (PV GAS) made a historic leap by carrying out the first LNG transportation from the South to the North by train. This event not only demonstrates PV GAS's commitment to optimizing the energy value chain but also affirms the company's pioneering position in building a sustainable energy future for the country.

PV GAS is actively implementing an integrated energy business model, aiming to deliver LNG to all regions of the country through a new transportation method. The use of ISO Tanks for transporting LNG by rail is not only an innovative initiative but also helps address the increasing energy demand, particularly in the northern region.

ISO Tank LNG is designed according to international standards, allowing for the storage of natural gas at a temperature of -162°C in liquid form. PV GAS's LNG infrastructure system, including import ports, storage facilities, and export stations at Thi Vai (Ba Ria – Vung Tau), has been operating effectively since March 2024, supplying LNG to markets in the South and Central South.

Facing the rising energy demand from economic centers, PV GAS has developed an integrated energy business model, enabling the supply of LNG to areas far from import centers. The multimodal transportation plan will facilitate the swift delivery of green energy across the country at reasonable costs.

The ISO Tanks will be filled with LNG at the Thi Vai LNG port and then transported by road to the railway station, preparing for the first North-South LNG transport train in September 2024. PV GAS has closely collaborated with the Vietnam Railway Corporation (VNR) to ensure technical standards and safe transportation conditions.

This train is not only a testament to PV GAS's strategic vision but also reflects its ability to adapt flexibly in the new energy era. With a determination to perfect the energy value chain, PV GAS asserts its brand and pioneering role in the LNG sector in Vietnam, while aiming to become a leading energy industrial group of the Vietnam Oil and Gas Group.
