Excelerate Energy reaches milestone for LNG ship-to-ship transfer

Texas-based Excelerate Energy said its floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) Exquisite completed the company’s 1,500th ship-to-ship LNG transfer operation.

The transfer took place at the Engro Elengy Terminal in Pakistan, the company said in a brief statement through its social media channels.

Excelerate’s FSRU Exquisite is situated in a channel of the Indus River east of Karachi and is Pakistan’s first LNG import terminal built to alleviate energy shortages in the country.

The unit that has a baseload capacity of 690 million cubic feet per day, operates under a 15-year time charter deal with Engro Elengy Terminal (EETL).

It has also recently reached a milestone completing 200th ship-to-ship LNG transfer operation at the facility.
