PetroVietnam Gas says receives LNG cargo for power generation

HANOI, May 16 (Reuters) - PetroVietnam Gas has received its third LNG cargo this year for power generation, the company said on Thursday.

The Point Fortin tanker carrying 3 million MMBtu of LNG from Indonesia's Bontang Port arrived at PetroVietnam Gas's terminal in southern Vietnam earlier this week, it said in a statement.

The shipment, provided by TotalEnergies Gas & Power Asia Private Limited, is "aimed at ensuring LNG supplies for power generation, especially amid rising demand due to heatwaves," it said.
