Kogas sold 4.15 million mt last month, up 11.5 percent when compared to about 3.72 million mt Kogas had sold in February 2021, according to a stock exchange filing.

February sales decreased by 10.3 percent when compared to the previous month’s 4.63 million mt.

Kogas and other importers paid about $25.4 billion for these LNG imports, up almost 62 percent year-on-year, the data showed.
