EXMAR launched the conversion works for a new Floating Storage Regassification Unit (FSRU), advancing the long term expansion of the EemsEnergyTerminal (a subsidiary of Gasunie and Vopak). The move follows the signing of the conditional charter party covering both the extension of the existing Eemshaven LNG FSRU and a newly converted FSRU and is based on the intention of EemsEnergyTerminal to take conditional Final Investment Decision (FID) in the first half of 2026.
The next step for continued operations
EXMAR has now secured the vessel for the conversion project, being a dual fuel diesel electric membrane LNG carrier. EXMAR also initiated engineering activities and ordered a 750 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) LNG regasification plant with Gas Solutions.
The conversion works are a next step in realising the continued operations of the EemsEnergyTerminal, with an anticipated configuration of two (2) FSRUs owned and operated by EXMAR. The converted FSRU would be positioned next to EXMAR’s EEMSHAVEN LNG that remains on site. The terminal is anticipated to have a combined storage capacity of approximately 190,000 m³ LNG and a total regasification capacity of 1,350 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD), with improved performance.
EXMAR’s CEO Carl-Antoine Saverys stated: “By starting these works for the FSRU conversion, EXMAR and EemsEnergyTerminal continue to work towards an improved LNG import solution for Europe’s energy security. This project reinforces EXMAR’s unique experience in floating LNG infrastructure.”
