CNOOC Gas & Power, a unit of CNOOC, said in a statement that the GDLNG terminal has on August 9 received a milestone LNG cargo onboard a Dapeng series LNG carrier.
The 2008-built 147,210-cbm, Dapeng Sun delivered the shipment from Australia.
Its AIS data provided by VesselsValue shows that it brought the cargo from Woodside’s NWS LNG plant.
So far, the Dapeng series of LNG vessels have delivered more than 800 shipments to the GDLNG terminal, with a total of about 52 million metric tons of LNG, which can be used by 86 million people in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao Bay Area for 13 years, according to CNOOC Gas & Power.
Built by Hudong-Zhonghua and owned by China LNG Shipping, Dapeng Sun is the first Chinese LNG carrier built by a domestic shipyard.
Also, its two sister vessels are Dapeng Moon and Dapeng Star and they are working between the Dapeng LNG terminal and Australia.

Last year, the GDLNG terminal hit a milestone with supplying over 100 million metric tons to downstream gas customers in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Bay Area since its launch in 2006.
China’s first LNG import terminal has a design capacity of 6.8 mtpa. The facility features four 160,000-cbm LNG tanks and also a truck loading station.
According to data by GIIGNL, CNOOC owns 33 percent in GDLNG, the province of Guangdong 30 percent, BP 30 percent, HK & China Gas 3 percent, and Hong Kong Electric 3 percent.
In 2021, BP started to directly supply customers in China with regasified LNG from the LNG terminal in Shenzhen.
With this, BP has created a fully integrated gas value chain into China, directly connecting upstream resources, transportation, and also trading with downstream gas customers.
The energy firm has 600,000 tons a year tolling regasification capacity at GDLNG.
BP China and CNOOC Gas & Power previously said that GDLNG’s cumulative gas supply volume accounts for about 40 percent of the gas consumption in Guangdong province and also about 30 percent of the gas consumption in Hong Kong.
