        美国液化天然气公司Excelerate Energy的浮式储存和再气化装置船（floating storage and regasification unit，简称FSRU）“Exemplar”号已离开阿根廷，正在驶往芬兰（Finland）和爱沙尼亚（Estonia）。

 

        本周，Excelerate Energy公司在社交媒体上分享其FSRU“Exemplar”号已经完成又一次在冬季向阿根廷（Argentina）提供液化天然气再气化作业的服务。

 

        8月24日，这艘FSRU船泊离开巴伊亚布兰卡（Bahia Blanca），驶向西班牙（Spain）码头进行维护和过冬。此后，它将前往波罗的海（Baltic Sea）为芬兰和爱沙尼亚提供液化天然气再气化服务。

 

        Excelerate Energy公司分享表示：“我们的FSRU’Exemplar‘号昨天离开了阿根廷。其下个目的地是波罗的海地区，帮助强化跨大西洋的能源安全情况。”

 

        这艘建造于2020年的FSRU“Exemplar”号长291米，宽43米，其容积约为15.1万立方米，相当于约6.8万吨的液化天然气（LNG）。

 

        2008年，Excelerate公司开发了南美首个液化天然气（LNG）进口终端--巴伊亚布兰卡天然气港（Bahia Blanca GasPort），并从2011年开始运营巴拉那河（Paraná River）沿岸液化天然气进口终端--GNL Escobar。

 

        现今，芬兰Gasgrid公司正向Excelerate Energy公司租赁这艘FSRU，租期为10年，其欲在明年冬天就能使用终端。该船的容量足以满足芬兰和爱沙尼亚的天然气作业需求。

 

        这个浮动式液化天然气终端将在芬兰进行能源安全和供应多样化作业，同时也会为波罗的海地区更广泛的天然气需求提供服务。

Excelerate Energy’s FSRU Exemplar heads out to serve Finland

 

U.S.-based LNG company Excelerate Energy’s floating storage and regasification unit FSRU Exemplar has departed Argentina and is on its way to serve Finland and Estonia.

 

This week, Excelerate Energy shared via social media that its FSRU Exemplar has completed another winter season delivering LNGregasification services to Argentina.

 

On 24 August, the FSRU departed Bahia Blanca and sailed to dock in Spain for maintenance and winterization. After this, it will go to the Baltic Sea to provide LNG regasification services to both Finland and Estonia.

 

“Our FSRU Exemplar departed Argentina yesterday. Its next destination is the Baltic Sea Region to bolster transatlantic energy security,” shared Excelerate Energy.

 

FSRU Exemplar, built in 2010, is 291 meters long and 43 meters wide vessel. It has a volume of approximately 151,000 cubic meters, corresponding to approximately 68,000 tonnes of LNG.

 

The FSRU delivered LNG for the 2021 winter season in Argentina, helping Argentina’s efforts to reduce its dependence on carbon-intensive and more expensive fuel. Between 2016 and 2020, Argentina reduced its CO2 emissions by approximately 9.5 million tonnes through the use of LNG.

 

Excelerate developed the Bahia Blanca GasPort, South America’s first LNG import terminal in 2008 and has also operated GNL Escobar, an LNG import terminal along the Paraná River, since 2011.

 

Now, Finland’s Gasgrid is leasing the FSRU from Excelerate Energy for a duration of 10 years. It aims to have the terminal available already next winter. The vessel’s capacity is sufficient for the gas needs of both Finland and Estonia.

 

This floating LNG terminal is to provide energy security and supply diversification to Finland while also serving more broadly the needs of the Baltic Sea region.
