Turkish state-owned energy company Botas has made early-day enquiries for a large floating storage and regasification unit.
Market sources said the company has held discussions with shipbuilders about a vessel without giving full details on where it would be located.
Some said Botas could be tapping shipyards for Turkey’s third FSRU, which government ministers have said is planned for Saros Bay on the Gallipoli peninsula in the north-west of the country.
