ETM is a subsidiary of Excelerate Energy.

The interim DoC was awarded following the audit of the company’s safety management system and after ensuring that the fleet complies with the ISM standards of safe operation.

The FSRU Experience is the first vessel to be managed by ETM. The vessel departed from Fene-Ferrol, Spain, on 6 February.

Scheduled maintenance and vessel upgrades were carried out in Spain. The fleet will be transferred to ETM ship management by the end of the year.
