Sinopec will get 1.8 million tonnes of LNG annually for 20 years, about 15% of the terminal’s output, Petronas said in a statement April 29. Sinopec also agreed to buy 3 million tonnes a year of LNG for 20 years from Petronas, making it one of the Malaysian state-owned company’s largest buyers of the fuel.
