FSRU fixed for upcoming Ghana LNG import project

A floating storage and regasification unit earmarked for Swan LNG’s new terminal in India has been chartered on a short-term basis by the developers of Ghana’s first import project.

A spokesman for Ghana's Tema LNG confirmed to TradeWinds that the 180,000-cbm Vasant 1 (built 2020) has been “engaged” for the project and is now en route to Ghana.

The vessel will operate as an interim FSRU in advance of the installation of the long-term replacement, which is currently expected to be on site next year, he said.
