Background

Higashi Ohgishima LNG Terminal is an LNG terminal in Kanagawa, Japan.

The Higashi Ohgishima LNG Terminal began operation in 1984 and was expanded in 1987.

In 2013, Tepco has explored importing more LNG and expects the Higashi Ohgishima terminal to convert facilities to only lean LNG imports of up to 6 mtpa by 2023.
