The spokeswoman said these are standard-sized 1 TWh cargoes, without providing further details regarding the shipments.
She noted that details on the annual plan for scheduled deliveries will be announced by Gastrade “shortly.”
In August, Gastrade resumed Alexandroupolis FSRU operations following a technical issue in January this year, but the facility is yet to receive its next LNG shipment.
The FSRU resumed operations at a limited regasification capacity of 45.4 GWh/day, including redundancy with respect to its booster pumps.
“As of September 12, the company has increased the maximum regasification capacity of the Alexandroupolis LNG terminal to 90.8 GWh/day,” the spokeswoman said.
“At the start of operations, we expect to further increase this regasification capacity to 136 GWh/day, lifting most of the current technical constraints,” she said.
As previously reported by LNG Prime, UK-based energy giant BP supplied an LNG cargo to Bulgaria’s Bulgargaz via the Alexandroupolis FSRU in January.
The 2021-built 174,000-cbm, BW Lesmes, delivered the shipment from the Freeport LNG terminal in Texas to the 153,500-cbm FSRU, Alexandroupolis, on January 19.
This new delivery by BP marked the fourth commercial LNG delivery to the FSRU-based facility.
Bulgargaz recently launched a tender seeking four LNG cargoes for delivery via the Alexandroupolis terminal during the upcoming autumn-winter season.
The deliveries are scheduled for October 2025, December 2025, January 2026, and March 2026.
The Alexandroupolis LNG terminal has a capacity of up to 5.5 bcm per year, or some 66.3 TWh per year.
It is the first FSRU-based facility in Greece and adds to DESFA’s LNG import terminal located on the island of Revithoussa.
Gastrade’s shareholders include founder Copelouzou, DESFA, DEPA, Bulgartransgaz, and GasLog.
