The project will be carried out at Vasilikos Bay in Cyprus with an implementation timeframe of 24 months.

The main components of the project include a former LNG carrier that has a storage capacity of 136,000m³. It will be transformed into floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) in China.

It also includes the construction of a jetty and a jetty-bourne gas pipeline and an onshore gas pipeline and associated infrastructure.

After the LNG carrier is transformed into an FSRU, the vessel will feature a regasification modular unit.
