Italian gas grid and terminals operator SNAM allocates Piombino FSRU capacity despite legal challenge
The proposed floating LNG terminal at the Italian Port of Piombino in northwest Italy has filled 86 percent of the regasification and cargo slots even amid a pending legal decision on whether the facility can start up as planned.
Call by Italian FSRU
Oct 25 (LNGJ) - OLT Offshore LNG Toscana, the company controlled by Italian grid operator SNAM and Igneo Infrastructure Partners, has launched a consultation on proposed amendments to the regasification capacity rules concerning the floating storage and regasification unit, the “FSRU Toscana”, deployed off the Mediterranean port of Livorno.
“From October 24, it is possible to consult the proposed amendment of the regasification code concerning the update of the procedures required to unload volumes of LNG exceeding 155,000 cubic metres and the duration of the financial guarantees required for continuous capacity,” said OLT Offshore. Other issues covered include the possibility of having quantities of gas involved in transactions traceable to biomethane production or as bio-LNG.
