Background

South Korea's POSCO International and LX International are planning to build a 3.5 mtpa LNG import terminal in Dangjin, South Korea. The facility will have two storage tanks with a capacity of 270,000 kiloliters, two vaporizers with a capacity of 200 tons per hour, an LPG facility, and one LNG jetty, and it will supply South Korea's western region.

As of September 2025, there have been no project updates in over two years, and the project is inferred to be shelved. Additionally, an August 2024 brief from IEEFA reported that the project's groundbreaking had been delayed.
