Project Profile
Value: US$179.5 million
Location: Maiskhali Island
Start-up Year: Q3 2013
LNG storage capacity: 138,000 cubic metres
base regasification capacity: 500 mmcf (14.16 mcm) per day
Terminal operation: 2018
The project will see the construction of a floating LNG receiving terminal with berthing and mooring facility for a LNG ship with a capacity of 138,000 to 260,000 cubic metres, LNG storage and regasification unit. The terminal is expected to have capacity to handle 5 mmtpa and a regasification capacity of at least 500 mmscf/d. A three km subsea pipeline is to be designed and constructed from the floating terminal to the onshore custody transfer metering station at Maiskhali Island. The terminal is to be developed on a build own operate basis.
The FSRU (Floating, storage and regasification unit) will have a storage capacity of 138,000 cubic metres and a base regasification capacity of 500 million standard cubic feet per day. The terminal will include the provision of one of Excelerate’s existing FSRUs, the installation of a subsea buoy system anchored offshore, and the employment of port service vessels during operation. The FSRU will have 138,000 cubic metres of LNG storage capacity and a base regasification capacity of 500 million standard cubic feet per day. The terminal is expected to be in operation in 2018.
