Welding of the First 9% Nickel Steel Shell Course Successfully Completed at Cambodia LNG Project

On July 1, China National Chemical Engineering Sixth Construction Co., Ltd. (CC6) announced another major milestone in the Cambodia LNG Project: welding of the first shell course of 9% nickel steel plates for the inner tank was successfully completed, marking a critical breakthrough in the installation of the LNG storage tank’s inner structure.

Upon completion, the project will significantly enhance Cambodia’s energy supply capacity and help meet approximately 20% to 25% of the country’s electricity demand. It will effectively ease local power supply constraints and improve people’s livelihoods.

As a landmark achievement in China-Cambodia energy connectivity and mutually beneficial cooperation, the project will provide sustained momentum for the two countries to deepen cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative and further improve public well-being.
