Background

Hibiki LNG terminal is an LNG terminal in Kyushu, Japan.

The Hibiki LNG terminal became operational in 2014. The terminal supplies natural gas to households and major industrial consumers in northern Kyushu. The terminal has two 180,000 kiloliter LNG tanks and can accept LNG from the world's largest LNG carriers.

Expansion Background

In January 2019 Saibu announced that it was considering building two additional 230,000 cubic meter tanks at a cost of 36 billion yen (US$327 million). The expansion will increase gas storage but not import capacity.

In March 2024, LNG Prime reported that an expansion was proposed to add one additional 230,000 cbm LNG tank storage tank along with LNG regasification and truck loading facilities. The article describes the work as a "capacity expansion" but does not state whether it will increase regasification capacity.
