Both Nogaholding and Teekay LNG will hold a stake of 30% each while Samsung and GIC will own 20%.

The terminal is expected to help Bahrain meet the increasing demand for gas supplies to satisfy its industrial and urban development.

The project will include a floating storage unit (FSU), an offshore LNG receiving jetty and breakwater, and an adjacent regasification platform.

Subsea pipelines will transport gas to an onshore receiving facility. The terminal will include an onshore nitrogen production facility.

Samsung CEO Shin Kim said: “It is a great honour to have remarkable sponsorships with GIC, a leading investor with extensive experience and insight in the GCC region and also with Teekay LNG, a world class LNG shipping company with the highest technical expertise required for the Project.

“We will do our best for the successful execution of the Project based on solid collaboration with our partners.”
