Gas transport gets new tanker edge

China's hunger for natural gas has pushed CIMC Enric Holding Ltd, one of the country's biggest liquefied natural gas equipment manufacturers by sales revenue, to upgrade its products.

Its newly designed high-performance, large-capacity LNG tankers are expected to redefine ocean transport of natural gas.

"Once this mode of transportation is launched and widely accepted, a lot of wasted offshore natural gas will be saved," said Yang Baoying, deputy general manager at CIMC Enric.
