据海上能源8月10日消息，从明年开始，韩国将为即将成为地区液化天然气加注中心的液化天然气燃料船舶提供退税。
据能源部官员向Platts报告，该国政府修订了关税立法，以便为用于船舶的进口液化天然气提供退税。
目前，政府对液化天然气进口征收每公斤2美分（24.20韩元）的附加费。此外，对冬季进口的液化天然气将征收3%的关税，在今年剩余时间将征收2%的关税。
取消液化天然气燃料船舶的进口附加费是将韩国发展成为区域性液化天然气加注中心并满足严格的船用燃料法规的努力的一部分。
同样，据报道，政府正在推动降低液化天然气消费税，以帮助生产氢气和减少煤炭消耗。
此外，国有的韩国天然气公司计划在Dangjin建设其第五个液化天然气接收站。这是朝着区域液化天然气加注中心目标迈出的又一步。

South Korea puts forward tax rebates for LNG bunkering
Starting next year, South Korea will offer tax rebates for LNG-fueled ships on its path towards becoming a regional LNG bunkering hub.
The country’s government revised legislation on tariffs in order to provide rebates for imported LNG used for vessels, as reported to Platts by energy ministry officials.
Currently, the government levies a surcharge on LNG imports at two cents per kilogram (Won 24.20/kg). This is in addition to a three per cent tariff on LNG imported during the winter season and 2 per cent during the rest of the year.
Removing import surcharge for LNG-fueled vessels is a part of efforts to develop South Korea into a regional LNG bunkering hub and meet strict marine fuel regulations.
Similarly, the government is reportedly pushing for lowering the LNG consumption tax to help produce hydrogen and reduce coal consumption.
Also, state-owned Korea Gas Corp. plans to build its fifth LNG terminal in Dangjin. This is another step towards regional LNG bunkering hub goals.
