Background

Phase 1

Permitted by NDRC in March 2015, the Zhoushan LNG Terminal began construction in January 2016. Phase I of the terminal is expected to be commissioned in 2018 with a receiving capacity of 3 mtpa.

In late 2016, CIMC Enric completed two 160,000 cubic meter storage tanks for the LNG terminal.

In October 2018 the terminal began commercial operations. It was estimated to cost 5.8 billion RMB.

Phase 2

A second phase expanding the terminal's capacity to 5 mtpa is expected to come online in 2021. It began construction in Nov 2018. It will add two 160,000 cubic meter storage tanks. Phase 2 is estimated to cost 2.4 billion RMB. In April 2019 it was reported that the expansion would create an additional 7 mtpa of capacity and be completed by 2022.

Phase 3

Phase 3 was mentioned in Zhejiang Province's 14th Five-Year Plan. It is slated for operation in 2024 and is estimated to cost 3.5 billion RMB.

Phase 3 was permitted in March 2022. It includes 4 storage tanks with 220,000 cubic meters each. The capacity of phase 3 will be 3.5 mtpa. Construction of phase 3 began in December 2022. By January 2024, the construction is at advanced stage. The operation was expected in September 2025.
