Energos Indonesia, a unit of Apollo’s Energos Infrastructure, and Nusantara Regas celebrated the FSRU’s 400th LNG cargo on December 11.
Since 2012, a total volume of 21 million tonnes of LNG has been regasified on the 125,000-cbm FSRU, Energos Infrastructure said.
“This represents a significant milestone and demonstrates Nusantara Regas Satu’s reliability as a competitive supplier of regasified LNG to Indonesia,” the company said.
This unit is a “significant” contributor to the supply of natural gas to Indonesia’s largest island, Java, and capital, Jakarta, Energos Infrastructure said.
The FSRU is owned and operated by Energos Infrastructure, while Nusantara Regas charters the unit.
This is Indonesia’s first FSRU project, and it has a capacity of 3 mtpa.
The project saw the existing 1977-built LNG carrier Khannur converted into a floating storage and regasification unit.
Since 2012, the unit has delivered natural gas to state electricity company PLN’s power plant in Jakarta, West Java.
The utilization of the vessel continues to grow as Indonesia further transitions away from coal/diesel to cleaner natural gas, according to Energos Infrastructure.
Pertamina said in a statement in May this year that Nusantara Regas reported revenue of $81.08 million for the 2023 financial year from LNG regasification services using the FSRU in West Java.
Pertamina said that in its operational performance, Nusantara Regas distributed 89.54 million MMBtu of gas from 32.45 LNG cargoes for vital power plants in Jakarta and West Java.
For business expansion, Nusantara Regas will be focusing on expanding the company’s steps as a provider of LNG retail gas infrastructure, it said.
