RasGas delivers LNG to
FSRU Toscana
R
asGas Co. Ltd has announced that it has shipped its first
cargo of LNG to the floating storage and regasification
unit (FSRU),
FSRU Toscana
, located in Italy.
The cargo was delivered by the
Al Thakhira
LNG carrier in
August 2016 to a new customer, DufEnergy Trading SA. Since
entering the LNG market in late 2012, DufEnergy has been
delivering a number of LNG cargoes to its customers, while
diversifying its LNG supply portfolio.
Khalid Sultan R. Al Kuwari, RasGas’ Chief Marketing &
Shipping Officer, said: “RasGas looks forward to continuing
our support of DufEnergy in meeting the growing demand
in Italy – and throughout Europe – for cleaner energy in the
form of LNG. The arrival of our LNG cargo at
FSRU Toscana
represents another positive development in RasGas’ global
operations.”
Jean-Christian Heintz, Head of LNG at DufEnergy, added:
“Receiving this cargo at the
FSRU Toscana
regasification
terminal is an important milestone, as LNG is a key source of
supply to the Italian natural gas market.”

Höegh LNG signs agreements for FSRU
conversion project
H
öegh LNG Holdings Ltd has announced that it has signed
agreements with both Moss Maritime (engineering) and
Wärtsilä Oil and Gas (EPCIC regas) for its first floating storage
regasification unit (FSRU) conversion project, including orders
for critical equipment with long lead time.
Ordering this equipment in advance will allow the
company to decrease its conversion schedule from 18 months
to 12 months, meaning that the planned delivery date for the
FSRU conversion project is now the end of 2017.
Sveinung J. S. Støhle, the President and CEO of
Höegh LNG, said: “By doing FSRU conversions, Höegh LNG
can capture additional business opportunities with start-up
at the end of 2017 and in 2018, which our FSRU newbuilding
programme cannot meet. Our strong in-house technical
expertise and our ability to order critical equipment with
limited risk due to our newbuilding programme, enables us
to take advantage of the strong fundamentals in the FSRU
segment.”
