Chinese LNG imports hit a record monthly high of 3.73 mt in December, which contributed to a substantial increase in volumes entering the market over the full calendar year, according to reports citing China’s General Administration of Customs.
The December figure was 40% higher month on month and 78% higher year on year, reports said. The world’s second-largest economy imported a total of 26.06 mtpa in 2016, marking a 32% increase on 2015, news sources said.
