Developing an FSRU Project in New Markets: 10 Key Considerations -

As at 1 July 2017, the total number of operational floating storage and regasification units (“FSRUs”) globally stood at 26, with 23 operating as terminals and 3 as LNG tankers. A further 10 vessels were under construction, with options having been placed with shipyards for another 10 vessels.

In the second half of 2017, the global FSRU market has continued to develop, with projects such as the BW Integrity FSRU terminal commencing operations at Port Qasim (Pakistan), Mitsui O.S.K. Lines delivering the world’s largest FSRU for operation in Turkey and Swan Energy placing orders for an FSRU and an FSU for its LNG import terminal at Jafrabad, India.
