🎓 LNGKnowledge

The LNG Ships, depending on the charter party, don't bunker Fuel Oil for months reducing 📉 anchorage time to half .

How❓

These ships use their cargo as fuel 🔥 for their Boilers or Engines, hence if the charterer/Buyer agrees, they go full gas consumption by either using the Natural NBOG or the Forced boil off FBOG generated from the LNG cargo 💧.

🏭 LNGTerminals

Snam is buying the Higas land-based LNG terminal in Sardinia 🏭 and is planning to add a floating storage and regasification unit to develop the facility.

The Italian energy company has signed an agreement with the shareholders of Higas 🤝 to begin a period of exclusive assessment and negotiation regarding the potential acquisition of the share capital and the expansion and conversion of the current facility with an FSRU 🚢.

The terminal and storage facility is based in Oristano on Sardinia’s mid-west coastline to the north of Portovesme 📍.

State energy company Ecopetrol is set to kick off a process to develop a new floating regasification and storage unit-based LNG terminal 🚢 on Colombia’s northern coast.

The Covenas maritime terminal in Sucre department will use an FSRU, which Ecopetrol wants to have in operation by the end of this year 📅.

It is due to launch a formal process to secure regasification services within days 🏭.

Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS) has asked its LNG suppliers to delay 🕔 the delivery of at least 2️⃣0️⃣ cargoes that it had to receive by the end of the year, as Egypt struggles to anticipate actual gas demand 📊

The cargoes, which have been planned to arrive in Egypt by the end of December 2025, will now be rescheduled for delivery during the first three months of 2026 📅.

The rescheduling of LNG imports suggests that Egypt is not in an immediate need of much imported gas by the end of the year as demand has dropped 📉 following the summer cooling demand peak.

A looming surge in liquefied natural gas supply 💧 through the end of the decade is poised to create demand that won’t go away

Prices of the super-chilled fuel are widely expected to drop 📉 as a number of LNG projects go online in the coming years, including ADNOC’s plant at Ruwais that will more than double the company’s export capacity 🚀.

The German gas network agency announced that LNG imports by sea vessels reached their highest level 📊 since the opening of LNG reception terminals in 2022, reflecting significant changes in the German energy market ⚡.

The figures indicate that the amount of gas injected into LNG terminals during the first nine months of this year exceeded 📈 the total injected in 2023 and 2024 each separately.

Bangladesh had planned an open tender for its third Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) at Moheshkhali Island, Cox's Bazar 🚢. The initiative, however, has slowed, with the government now favouring a government-to-government (G2G) deal 🤝 over competitive bidding.

Petrobangla had been pursuing the development of the third FSRU after it scrapped the second Summit FSRU deal on 7 October last year , citing the company's failure to submit the required performance bond within 90 days of signing the agreement.

The proposed FSRU is expected to have a regasification capacity of about 600 million cubic feet per day (mmcfd) 💭, aimed at meeting rising demand for imported liquefied natural gas (LNG) amid dwindling domestic gas reserves.

Venture Global's loss in a massive arbitration case with BP 🚨 is a black eye for the wider U.S. LNG industry, whose breakneck growth looks set to contribute to a global supply glut and far more headaches for investors.

The U.S. LNG producer, which has a $30 billion market cap, operates some of the largest U.S. LNG plants and was found to have breached 🔴 its supply obligations to BP

BP is seeking damages of more than 💰1 billion plus interest, costs, and attorneys' fees.

Italy’s floating regasification terminal operator OLT Offshore LNG Toscana has launched the first auctions 🎯 for a small scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) (SSLNG) service, achieved through a bidirectional LNG transfer at its floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) moored off the coast of Livorno 📍.

These auctions are for product offering of 12 small scale slots of 7,500 liquid cubic meters 💧, distributed monthly from November 2025 to November 2026.

This service is expected to enable LNG to be loaded from the FSRU Toscana terminal 🚢 onto small LNG carriers that can refuel vessels powered by liquefied natural gas directly at sea or discharge the fuel at coastal storage facilities in major Mediterranean ports 🏭 .
