Italy-based RINA has been appointed by PGAS Solution, a subsidiary of PGN, Indonesia’s largest natural gas distribution company, which will own and operate the FSRU.
The floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) is to serve as an LNG importing hub for PGN in South Sumatra and will have a storage capacity of 170,000 cubic meters and a regasification capacity up to 500 mmscfd.
The unit will be installed at Labuhan Maringgai Lampung in a water depth of about 20 m and linked to the shore by a 21 km pipeline, project officials said.
The terminal is intended to come into service in mid-2014.
