PV GAS transports LNG by train for 1st time
On September 6, 2024, at Trang Bom Railway Station, Quang Tien Commune, Trang Bom District, Dong Nai Province, Petrovietnam Gas Corporation (PV GAS) held a ceremony to launch the first train carrying LNG from the South to the North
Mr Nguyen Phuc Tue, PV GAS’ Vice President made a speech
Recognizing the energy needs amidst the incomplete LNG import infrastructure in Northern Vietnam, PV GAS has swiftly implemented a multi-modal LNG transport solution combining road and railway to deliver LNG to regions far from existing PV GAS’ infrastructure. The departure of the train carrying 16 ISO tanks of LNG at -162°C throughout the journey signified PV GAS’ completion of an energy supply chain via pipelines, waterways, roadways, and railways across Vietnam.
Congratulations on the departure of the first LNG train shipment
In addition to expanding PV GAS’ reach to areas without complete infrastructure and enhancing energy solutions with LNG at its core, LNG railway/tank truck business operations also contribute to the development of this clean energy (reducing CO2 emissions by 30% compared to coal and 40% compared to oil). Through this promising LNG distribution chain, PV GAS and its Group, Petrovietnam, are leading the energy market and Vietnam’s gas industry towards a green and sustainable development.
Congratulations on the departure of the first LNG train shipment
Mr. Nguyen Phuc Tue, Vice President of PV GAS, affirmed that the first LNG train from South to North of Vietnam was the result of relentless efforts of PV GAS, showcasing their spirit of innovation, creativity, and breakthrough. This opened up many opportunities and growth spaces for the Corporation and its units in the future.

The LNG train would be given priority to ensure timely delivery, with an expected transit time of 3 days to the northern region.
