Bangladesh currently imports LNG via two FSRU-based facilities, both of which feature Excelerate Energy’s FSRUs.
The 138,000-cbm FSRU Excellence serves Bangladesh’s first LNG import facility, Moheshkhali Floating LNG or MLNG, operated by Petrobangla.
Launched in 2018, the FSRU-based terminal completed its 100th STS transfer offshore Bangladesh in 2021.
Excelerate’s 138,000-cbm FSRU Summit LNG serves as the second LNG import facility operated by Summit.
In September, Summit said the FSRU was ready to resume sendout to the grid in Bangladesh after it sustained damage on May 27 during cyclone Remal.
