Fuel Pipeline Transportation Pipeline Project

Overview:

• Fuel Pipeline Transportation has obtained financing from Bangkok Bank to construct a major fuel pipeline in Thailand that starts from Ayudhaya Province in central Thailand to the country's northern provinces and for fuel tank farms in areas along the pipeline.
• The project is a part of Asean's fuel security enhancement initiative according to energy minister Anantaporn Kanjanarat. 
• The deal is significant considering the broad area in Thailand affected by the pipeline, and the resulting potential for land rights issues and environmental challenges.
