Background

Ishikari LNG Terminal is an LNG terminal in Hokkaido, Japan.

Ishikari LNG Terminal was commissioned in 2012 with one storage tank with 180,000 cubic meters of capacity. A second tank with 200,000 cubic meters of capacity was commissioned in 2016. The terminal will provide fuel for a large-scale gas-fired power plant being constructed at Ishikari Bay New Port.

In August 2018 a third storage tank with 230,000 cubic meters of capacity was commissioned.

The expansion of Ishikari LNG terminal was completed by Hokkaido Gas with the fourth storage tank of 230,000 m³ capacity entering into service in October 2020.
