SINGAPORE, March 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading LNG terminals and downstream infrastructure company, AG&P LNG, a subsidiary of Nebula Energy, announced today that it has acquired a 49% stake in Cai Mep LNG Terminal located in Vũng Tàu district in South Vietnam.

Strategically located, Cai Mep LNG will enable reliable LNG access to multiple power plants in its vicinity, including Hai Linh's Hiep Phuoc Power Plant - currently under construction - and to the industries in the South Vietnam region. AG&P LNG team has already worked closely with the Cai Mep LNG Terminal team to operationalize the terminal by Q3 2024. We are privileged to work with Hai Linh and make LNG available quickly and safely to the Vietnam market."

Mr. Le Van Tam, CEO, Hai Linh Company Limited said, "Rapid industrialization and strong economic growth currently being experienced by Vietnam are expected to generate strong gas demand growth led by power and industrial sectors, combined with the balanced LNG supply market. We are very excited to welcome AG&P LNG as our shareholder in our Cai Mep LNG Terminal Company. With this partnership, we will be able to expedite the terminal's start up and commissioning and LNG terminal operations into Vietnam and serve the exponentially growing LNG demand in our country."
