Croatian FSRU gets first Tortue LNG cargo

Croatia's FSRU-based LNG import facility on the northern Adriatic island of Krk has received its first cargo from the BP-operated Greater Tortue Ahmeyim LNG project offshore Mauritania and Senegal.

State-owned LNG import terminal said during the weekend that the LNG carrier BWW ENN Snow Lotus delivered the 143rd LNG cargo to the 140,000-cbm FSRU.

LNG Croatia said this marks its “first-ever shipment of LNG from Senegal, marking a small, but significant step in diversifying Europe’s gas supply sources.”

The firm did not provide further details.

According to its AIS data provided by VesselsValue, the 2022-built BW ENN Snow Lotus, owned by BW LNG and chartered by ENN, loaded the shipment at Golar LNG’s 2.7 mtpa FLNG Gimi, which serves the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim LNG project offshore Mauritania and Senegal, earlier this month.

BP operates GTA with a 56 percent working interest and offtakes all of the produced volumes.

The Croatian FSRU mainly receives shipments from the US, but it also takes cargoes from Algeria, Qatar, Nigeria, Egypt, Trinidad, Indonesia, and reloads at European terminals.

The Krk LNG terminal has shipped more than 12.22 billion cubic meters of natural gas into the Croatian system since 2021, according to LNG Croatia.

It also completed 588 ship-to-truck LNG reload operations.

In November 2025, LNG Croatia boosted the capacity of its FSRU-based LNG import terminal on the island of Krk with the commissioning of a new regasification module.

The new regasification module comprises one train with a maximum natural gas sendout of 250,000 cbm per hour.

The total maximum capacity of the LNG terminal was thus increased from 3.9 billion cubic meters of natural gas to 6.1 billion cubic meters of natural gas.
