During the S-OIL First LNG Cargo Receiving Ceremony, PETRONAS’ Vice President of LNG Marketing & Trading, Ahmad Adly Alias, said that the success of the delivery was due to the efficient and effective collaboration between PETRONAS, S-OIL, POSCO and MISC, in ensuring all operational challenges were addressed effectively.
