Hong Kong (China) has received its first floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU), which is the world’s largest with an overall length of 345 m and a storage capacity of 263,000 m3 of LNG. The FSRU Bauhinia Spirit will be moored at the jetty of the upcoming Hong Kong offshore LNG terminal and be used to receive, store, and regasify LNG. The FSRU is currently anchored at the South Cheung Chau Anchorage and will shortly sail to the LNG terminal east of the Soko Islands.
The new offshore LNG terminal, which is due for final commissioning in mid-2023, will be operated by the Hong Kong LNG Terminal, a joint venture between CLP Power and HK Electric. The terminal will supply gas to two destinations in Hong Kong, the Black Point Power Station in the New Territories and Lamma Power Station at Lamma Island. It is the first of its kind in Hong Kong and includes a marine jetty and two subsea gas pipelines, whose construction has been completed.
