LNG

Sept 15 (LNGJ) - Excelerate Energy of the US and Dubai Supply Authority have completed the first commercial gas-up operation at the Jebel Ali LNG import facility in the United Arab Emirates via Excelerate's floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) “Explorer”. The FSRU gassed-up all five tanks of a 173,000 cubic metres capacity LNG Carrier in a 17-hour period. “Dubai Supply Authority’s ability to utilize the FSRU for these operations will allow LNG vessels departing regional dry docks to avoid having to travel significant distances to perform this required step in the LNG cargo cycle, making Dubai a full-service LNG hub,” Excelerate said.
