网讯 据世界天然气网7月14日消息 韩国天然气公司（Kogas）和5家同胞公司正联手在韩国成立一家液化天然气加注合资企业。
这五家韩国公司包括釜山港公司、钢铁制造商浦项制铁、炼油商S-Oil、大宇物流和唯识株式会社。
据液化天然气采购巨头韩国天然气称，财团周二签署了一项合作协议，并计划在10月前建立合资企业。
该合资企业的主要目标是在全国推广液化天然气加油业务，并应对更严格的航运排放法规。
通过合资公司，韩国天然气计划为船舶供应136万吨液化天然气，并在2030年实现约1万亿韩元（8.3亿美元）的销售额。
这家液化天然气进口巨头的目标是扩大该国主要港口的加油站网络。
韩国天然气表示，它正计划确保几艘液化天然气加油船供应燃料。
据介绍，这家韩国公司计划在东海和南海部署两艘液化天然气加注船，在西海部署一艘。
这些计划还包括在当津建立一个液化天然气运输设施。
韩国天然气公司表示，成立合资企业不仅是为了应对近期海洋环境监管的收紧。
这也使液化天然气成为韩国的主要航运燃料，韩国已经是造船和航运强国。
与此同时，韩国海洋与渔业部加强了该国6个主要港口的限硫规定。
该部还支持液化天然气作为燃料，并曾支持燃料加注的发展。
其中包括沿海用小型加油船，作为液化天然气动力船舶服务新项目的一部分。

Kogas, partners to form Korean LNG bunkering JV
South Korea’s Kogas and five compatriots are joining forces to set up a LNG bunkering joint venture in the country.

The partners signed a collaboration deal on Tuesday and plan to establish the venture by October, according to LNG buying giant Kogas.

Through the JV, Kogas plans to supply 1.36 million tons of LNG for ships and achieve sales of about 1 trillion won ($830 million) by 2030.
The LNG importing giant aims to expand the network of filling stations in major ports accord the country.
Kogas says it is planning to secure several LNG bunkering vessels to supply the fuel.
The Korean company plans two LNG bunkering ships in the East Sea and the South Sea, and one vessel in the West Sea, it said.
The plans also includes one LNG shipping facility in Dangjin.
Kogas said the creation of the venture would not only respond to the recent tightening of marine environment regulations.
It also enables LNG to become a major shipping fuel in Korea, which is already a shipbuilding and shipping powerhouse.
Meanwhile, Korea’s Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries has strengthened sulphur-limiting regulations in six major ports in the country.
The ministry is also supporting LNG as fuel and has previously backed bunkering developments.
These include the small bunkering vessel for coastal use as part of a new project to serve LNG-powered ships.
