PETRONAS Shizuoka DES SPA keeps Japan LNG upgrades active
A 9 July 2026 DES SPA between PETRONAS LNG Ltd and Shizuoka Gas covers ~0.84 MMT across FY2032–FY2038, keeping Japanese receiving-terminal upgrade RFQs active.
What changed
Shizuoka Gas executed an LNG SPA with PETRONAS LNG Ltd on 9 July 2026 for about 0.84 million metric tonnes on DES terms sourced from PETRONAS’ global portfolio, covering FY2032 through FY2038.
City-gas receiving operations must align berth scheduling, custody-transfer metering, and boil-off handling with the new term book. Industry estimate: cryogenic unloading-arm and metering-skid FAT cycles for Japanese terminals span 20–30 weeks, so mid-2026 RFQs still protect 2027–28 outage windows ahead of SPA-era cargo ramps.
Products affected
Primary map: term LNG under DES delivery, cryogenic marine unloading arms, and custody-transfer metering skids for Japanese city-gas terminals.
Buyer segments to prioritize
Prioritize LNG supply managers and terminal operations engineers at Shizuoka Gas in Shizuoka Prefecture, plus EPC mechanical package leads upgrading Sodeshi-area unloading and metering trains.
Exporter action
Bring DES operating references, High Pressure Gas Safety Act / ISO 28460 evidence, and FAT milestones inside Shizuoka Gas outage freezes—unproven arms or meters risk secondary-source rejection on SPA-linked berth work.
