According to the company’s statement, upon completion of the 10-year agreement Excelerate will re-purchase the FSRU from CMB.

Excelerate adds that the agreement enables the swap of short-term debt for long-term debt at the ultimate shareholder level. Excelerate is wholly owned by George Kaiser, president, CEO and primary owner of GBK Corporation.

Commissioned in 2014, the FSRU Experience is currently under long-term charter to Petrobras, providing regasification services to Brazil.
