BGC and Brunei LNG delegates led by BGC Fleet Manager, Pg Nor Hazman Pg Hj Abd Hamid; and Brunei LNG Acting General Manager, Commercial, Nadia Amanda Abdullah Teo, celebrated a significant milestone for both companies on 14 July 2023, with the first LNG cargo delivery by BGC A-Class vessel, ARKAT, for Japan Petroleum Exploration Company Limited (JAPEX) to Soma LNG Terminal in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan.
The inaugural delivery commemorates an important milestone, continuing the legacy of just over half a century of LNG shipping between Brunei Darussalam and Japan.
With the celebration of BGC’s Silver Jubilee this year and through its 25 year-long voyage, the company is proud to play an important continuous role for both countries.
BGC would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to JAPEX; Soma LNG Terminal, Japan; Mitsubishi Corporation; and our charterer, Brunei LNG, for the longstanding partnership and collaboration, and we look forward to cultivating even stronger ties with Japan for decades to come.
