Background

Hachinohe LNG Terminal is an LNG terminal in Tohoku, Japan.

Hachinohe LNG Terminal began operation in 2006. Construction of a replacement facility began in 2010 and was commissioned in 2015. The project encompassed the construction of two LNG tanks with a capacity of 140,000 cubic meters each, loading and unloading facilities for LNG tankers and tank cars, as well as regasification facilities.

According to the 2023 GIIGNL report, "In 2022, Eneos announced plans to add LNG ship-to-ship transfer (STS) services and break-bulking cargoes into smaller vessels at the Hachinohe terminal jetty."
