What is a Floating Storage & Regasification Unit?

FSRU How does it work?

The FSRU is permanently moored near shore.

An LNG carrier arrives with its cargo.

The LNG is transferred from the ship to the FSRU.

The FSRU stores and regasifies the LNG to deliver high-pressure natural gas to shore.

It can also load small quantities of LNG onto trucks, barges or trains for regional needs.

Compared to an onshore solution:

Half the time to build

Reduced development costs

Lower environmental impact

Capacity tailored to customer requirements

Flexibility to relocate the FSRU

In short, an FSRU is a fast-track LNG import solution that offers complete flexibility to meet customer needs for the long term.
