JERA chairman Hendrik Gordenker has stressed on the importance of sufficient storage in the LNG supply chain, saying his company would enhance vessel operation to manage its inventories.

In the Oil and Money 2018 conference, Gordenker pointed out that the LNG industry has not made enough investments in storage facilities as a whole.

“It’s absolutely key…[But] in a lot of places, it’s not that easy to build storage capacity,” Gordenker said.
