The Eastern Highway team set out on Day 2 of the Green Highways Project after another boisterous ceremony, this time held by Donghae City, a candidate city for ANGVA 2009.
Kogas recently announced plans for the construction of Korea’s 4th LNG plant and receiving terminal in Donghae City. The port city will also be home to a Gazprom gas pipeline that will connect with Sakhalin in Russia’s far East.
Donghae City Mayor Kim Hak-ki and ANGVA Vice-President Kevin Park made congratulatory remarks after a brief cultural performance.
The vehicles didn’t need too much wiping down after the 240km drive from Chuncheon City and sparkled in the midday sun as promotional Green Highways t-shirts were passed around. Journalists, attendees and other NGV newcomers were busy flicking through their Green Highways brochures familiarizing themselves with NGV clean energy technology.
“It’s great to be on the road and to have so many people come and support us,” said Eastern Highway Project Manager William Choi. “It’s a credit to our sponsors and to everyone who has pitched in to make this project a success.”
The Green team will now head toward Korea’s southern provinces stopping in at supporters Swagelok, Hwayoung and Kwangshin and the Korean Ministry of Environment for small welcoming ceremonies.
