Fos Cavaou LNG terminal upgrades loading service

Elengy’s unit Fosmax LNG, which owns the Fos Cavaou LNG terminal, said it can now offer its customers a reloading service of 1,250 m3/h for ships of up to 200,000 m3.

In preparation for this service, from June 20 until 10 July the terminal had its first-ever full installation shutdown to allow the work of setting up the new pipelines and fitting the relevant valves to take place, the company said in a statement.

The Fos Cavaou LNG terminal, which opened in 2010 and has a regasification capacity of 8.25 Gm3 per year, has unloaded more than 220 LNG carriers, ranging from Med-Max to Q-Max, and has performed as many as 11 reloading operations since December 2012, according to the statement.
