FSRU, FSU, Offshore and Onshore Regasification Solutions
We provide access to flexible LNG import, storage and regasification solutions for project developers, owners and operators worldwide. We help identify and procure suitable equipment, systems and project solutions based on specific LNG capacity, site conditions, infrastructure and project requirements.
Through our global network of experienced partners, we provide access to technical expertise, EPC solutions, equipment supply and project development capabilities covering LNG storage, marine transfer, regasification and associated gas infrastructure.
From FSRU and FSU-based solutions to conventional onshore LNG terminals, we connect projects with suitable technologies, equipment and experienced supply-side partners.
LNG regasification converts imported liquefied natural gas (LNG) back into natural gas for delivery to gas transmission networks, power plants and industrial users.
The right regasification architecture depends on project capacity, marine conditions, available land, infrastructure, required delivery pressure, investment strategy and development timeline.
We provide access to four principal LNG import and regasification configurations.
FSRU – Floating Storage & Regasification Unit
Integrated Floating LNG Storage & Regasification
An FSRU combines LNG storage and regasification in one floating facility.
LNG is delivered by LNG carriers and transferred to the FSRU, typically through Ship-to-Ship (STS) LNG transfer. LNG is stored and regasified onboard before natural gas is exported through a high-pressure pipeline to shore.
Key Features
- Floating LNG storage and regasification
- Limited onshore LNG infrastructure
- Suitable for large-scale, continuous gas supply
- Proven solution for LNG import projects
- Flexible deployment where suitable marine conditions exist
FSU + Onshore Regasification
Floating LNG Storage with Onshore Regasification
An FSU provides LNG storage, while the regasification system is located onshore.
LNG carriers deliver LNG to the FSU through STS transfer. LNG is then transferred from the FSU to shore through a suitable marine LNG transfer system, where it is pumped, regasified, metered and delivered to the gas grid or power plant.
Key Features
- Separates LNG storage from regasification
- Modular onshore regasification
- Flexible and scalable capacity
- Potentially reduced offshore process complexity
- Suitable for projects with limited or strategically valuable onshore infrastructure
FSU + Offshore Regasification
Floating LNG Storage with Offshore Regasification
An FSU provides floating LNG storage, while a separate offshore facility performs the regasification.
LNG is delivered to the FSU by LNG carriers through STS transfer and subsequently transferred to the offshore regasification facility. Regasified natural gas is transported to shore through a subsea gas pipeline.
Key Features
- Separate floating storage and offshore regasification
- Limited onshore LNG infrastructure
- Modular approach to storage and regasification
- Suitable where offshore conditions and marine infrastructure are favorable
- Can support future capacity expansion
Conventional Onshore LNG Terminal
Onshore LNG Storage & Regasification
A conventional LNG terminal receives LNG carriers at a dedicated marine terminal and transfers LNG into large onshore cryogenic storage tanks.
The LNG is subsequently pumped to an onshore regasification system, converted into natural gas, metered and delivered to the transmission grid, power plants or industrial users.
Key Features
- Large permanent onshore LNG storage
- Dedicated LNG carrier berth and unloading facilities
- Onshore regasification and gas export infrastructure
- High-capacity, long-term infrastructure
- Suitable where sufficient land, port facilities and marine access are available
Choosing the Right LNG Regasification Solution
There is no single solution suitable for every LNG project. The optimal architecture depends on LNG demand, storage requirements, marine conditions, water depth, land availability, gas pipeline infrastructure, project schedule, capital investment and long-term operating strategy.
FSRU solutions can provide an integrated floating approach, while FSU-based configurations allow storage and regasification to be developed separately. Conventional onshore terminals provide a permanent, high-capacity solution where the required land and marine infrastructure are available.
From Concept to Equipment & Systems
We help project developers and owners identify suitable LNG import and regasification configurations and procure the equipment, systems and project solutions required for their specific applications.
Our international network provides access to solutions covering LNG storage, marine transfer, regasification, LNG pumps, vaporizers, gas conditioning, metering and associated infrastructure.
