Pakistan’s Bahria opens talks on FSRU for new import terminal

Pakistani charitable trust the Bahria Foundation has started talks with floating storage and ­regasification unit providers as it moves to fast-track a new LNG ­import project.

The project manager for the Bahria Foundation LNG Terminal Project (BFLTP) told TradeWinds that front-end engineering and design work is almost half-complete and should be finished by June.

He said a choice of FSRU should be made in June or July, after which engineering, procurement and construction work will get ­under way, with a target of seeing the terminal in operation by the end of 2019.
