Tema LNG receives FRU for its 1.7 Mt/year LNG import project (Ghana)

Ghana has received a floating regasification unit (FRU), built by Jiangnan Shipbuilding, a subsidiary of China State Shipbuilding Corporation, for its 1.7 Mt/year Tema LNG import terminal project. The Tema terminal, whose construction started in 2018 (construction led by China Habour Engineering Company (CHEC)), includes a floating regasification barge (FRU), floating storage unit, and a pipeline, which will be connected to the domestic grid. The terminal will then be transferred to GNPC and the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) after the 12-year initial period. The Spanish firm Reganosa Servicios won the contract for the operation and maintenance (O&M) of the FRU, FSU, and the associated 6 km gas pipeline linking the terminal to the existing pipeline network.
