Gasgrid says seven Inkoo regas slots booked

Firms have booked seven regasification slots at the Inkoo FSRU-based terminal for 2026 following the completion of the annual allocation procedure, according to Finland’s gas system and LNG terminal operator Gasgrid.

Floating LNG Terminal Finland (FLTF), a unit of Gasgrid, announced the capacity bookings in a statement earlier this week, but it did not provide further details.

“The annual service schedule will be published latest 25.11.2025,” it said.

In July, Gasgrid’s unit launched the annual capacity allocation process for calendar year 2026.

FLTF offered a total of 23 terminal slots of 950 GWh each.

Applicants needed to submit their terminal capacity requests by August 15.

Excelerate Energy’s 150,900-cbm FSRU Exemplar, which serves the Inkoo facility, was located on Thursday at the Fayard shipyard in Denmark, its AIS data shows.

Gasgrid said last month that its FSRU-based LNG import terminal in Inkoo will be offline until October due to a scheduled drydock visit by the FSRU.

The FSRU has a regasification capacity of over 5 billion cubic meters per year.

It arrived in Inkoo in December 2022.

Finland relied on LNG imports via the FSRU and the small Hamina LNG terminal to meet domestic demand for households, industry, and power since the Balticconnector gas pipeline between Finland and Estonia suffered a rupture and was shut down in early October 2023.

In April 2024, the Balticconnector offshore gas pipeline, owned by Gasgrid and Estonian gas system operator Elering, resumed commercial operations.

It is worth noting here that Finnish state-owned energy firm Gasum and Eesti Gas, a unit of Estonian investment firm Infortar, previously delivered LNG cargoes to the FSRU.
