Background

Kawagoe LNG Terminal is an LNG terminal in Kansai, Japan.

An expansion at Kawagoe LNG Terminal was completed in 2013 that added two 180,000 m3 LNG tanks. The expansion also included a jetty that can accommodate 200,000 m3 LNG supertankers.

JERA renovated the Kawagoe thermal power station to reload LNG as a marine fuel and started its operation in 2020. JERA is developing LNG bunkering by leveraging its LNG facility and, for this purpose, formed a joint venture company named Central LNG Marine Fuel Japan Corporation (CLMF) with Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK), Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, ltd., and Toyota Tsusho Corporation. In October 2020 CLMF carried out the first LNG ship-to-ship LNG bunkering in Japan via Japan’s first bunkering vessel Kaguya.
