One of GasLog’s six steam turbine LNG carriers is set for a new life as a floating storage unit (FSU) in West Africa in a joint project with the International Finance Corp (IFC).
IFC principal industry specialist Alan Townsend told TradeWinds that the two parties would site the 145,000-cbm FSU in Sierra Leone’s sheltered deepwater Freetown Harbour, one of the world’s largest natural harbours, which he said is underutilised by ship traffic.
