LNG Tank Containers on Rail

JAPEX developed a break-through solution to "transport LNG in tank containers on railway," having implemented the solution for commercial purposes on our domestic natural gas supply network since 2001.

This solution uses LNG tank containers handled as railway cargos. These containers are shipped from an LNG receiving terminal to freight train stations by dedicated tank trucks and then to destinations by railway as cargos. LNG tank containers that have arrived at a destination freight train station are eventually shipped to clients by dedicated tank trucks.

LNG tank containers on rail has the advantages such as suitability for long-distance transportation and less CO₂ emissions during transportation.

Currently, JAPEX transports LNG by railway tank containers between Sapporo and Kushiro in Hokkaido.
