KOMIPO & Vitol Extend LNG Supply Contract

Korea Middle Power Co (KOMIPO) and Vitol have agreed to extend an existing long-term LNG Supply and Purchase Agreement (LNG SPA), originally signed in 2011. Deliveries commenced in 2015, with Vitol supplying KOMIPO with over 4 million tonnes of LNG over 10 years. Under this extension agreement, Vitol will continue to supply KOMIPO with LNG.
