據天然氣新聞2021年3月10日新加坡報道，孟加拉國石油公司（BPC）的一名高級官員3月10日對記者說，由于孟加拉國努力削減零售價格以及進一步增加進口，孟加拉國計劃建造本國首個具有大約3萬噸丙烷和丁烷儲存能力的冷凍液化石油氣（LPG）基地終端，這個終端能夠接納容量更大的冷凍LPG船。

這名高級官員說，這個耗資1.5億美元的項目位于孟加拉灣馬塔巴里島的一個深海港口，預計將在2025年完工，不久之后將開始運營。

該官員補充說，經過與多家公司的幾輪談判，國有的孟加拉國石油公司已將建設合同授予了由日本丸紅公司(Marubeni Corp.)、維多亞洲公司和新加坡注冊的PowerCo International Pte. Ltd.組成的國際財團。

由日本三井公司和韓國SK Gas公司牽頭的另一個國際財團，以及住友公司和Gyxis公司組成的財團也與BPC進行了談判。

Bangladesh building first refrigerated LPG terminal at deepsea Matarbari port

Bangladesh plans to build its first refrigerated LPG base terminal with around 30,000 mt of storage capacity to enable the bulk import of propane and butane in bigger refrigerated LPG vessels as it strives to cut retail prices and further boost imports, a senior BPC official said.

The $150 million project at a deepsea port on Matarbari island, in the Bay of Bengal, is expected to be ready by 2025 and will commence operations soon after, the official said.

State-run Bangladesh Petroleum Corp., or BPC, has awarded the building contract to a consortium of Japan's Marubeni Corp., Vitol Asia Pte. Ltd. and Singapore-registered PowerCo International Pte. Ltd., after several rounds of negotiations with a number of companies, the official added.

Another consortium led by Japan's Mitsui and South Korea's SK Gas, as well as the Sumitomo Corp.-Gyxis Corp. consortium, were also in talks with BPC.
