Owned & Operated LNG FSRUs Are Essential to the LNG Value chain, Facilitating Energy Security, Downstream Gas Distribution, and Grid Balancing

The MOL Group is a leader in providing oil and gas solutions. Through technology and innovation, the group plays essential roles in major oil and gas projects to meet energy demand in an ever-changing global market.

The owned FSRUs we manage work as marine floating terminals delivering rapid "to market LNG solutions" to address critical energy demand. The MOL Group is synonymous with dynamic and innovative leadership in the floating LNG sector, giving our organization a unique ability to meet energy demand with a complete gas delivery solution. At the MOL Group, we provide LNG floating solutions across the entire midstream LNG chain with various FSRU projects already in operation and many more in the works.

Our involvement with FSRUs dates back to 2009. As the co-owner of two SRVs since 2009, and the owner/operator of the world's largest FSRU, the group continually strives to enhance the LNG value chain and deliver reliable LNG solutions. With floating terminals in various locations globally (two in Turkey, one in China, and another in development on the west coast of India*), we are well-positioned to provide a full range of regasification services critical to energy security and flexibility in the LNG supply chain.

* In our latest LNG marine terminal project, we will operate an LNG receiving facility in Gujarat, India, where the MOL Group will maintain an FSRU and an FSU as core facilities for regasification and storage, while handling the operation and maintenance of a gas receiving facility and its integration to the distribution grid.

FSRU PROJECTS –

1. MOL Owned-Operated FSRU -TURKEY 2nd FSRU PROJECT -

This is our LNG receiving and regasification terminal project in southern Turkey. The MOL FSRU Challenger, 100% owned by MOL, is engaged in this project. The FSRU will be placed at a newly built jetty in Dortyol to receive imported LNG and regasify it for delivery to users.

2. MOL's FSRU Terminal Company to Handle FSRU/FSU Operation for India Swan Project

In addition to investing in the terminal, MOL will provide FSRU operation and maintenance, supply the FSU and handle operation, maintenance, and technical support for the construction of a newbuilding FSRU for an LNG receiving and regasification terminal project in India.

Main body	Swan LNG
Location of the terminal	Jafrabad, Gujarat State, India
Main terminal facilities	1 FSRU (tank capacity: 180,000m3）、 1 FSU (tank capacity: 135,000m3 -145,000m3）, breakwater, jetty mooring, onshore facilities
LNG receiving capacity	5.0 million tons/year
Start of operation	Early 2020

Other Projects

2009 - Neptune Project - SRV will send gas through a submerged turret buoy and undersea pipeline off Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

2013- Tianjin Project - First floating LNG import project in China, bridging import solution with regasification capacity of 21Msm3/d(mega standard cubic metres per day). In the winter of 2017, the FSRU was deployed for temporary transmission to meet emergency demand.

2016- Benoa Indonesia project - Domestic project for 200 MW power plant.
FRU (regasification facility only) and FSU (storage only) are in operation at Benoa port in Indonesia to supply LNG to a 200 MW power plant in Bali. MOL is providing an LNG shuttle vessel.

2016- ETKI FSRU Project in Turkey – First floating LNG import project in Turkey with regasification capacity of 21 Msm3/d. The terminal is located 300 meters offshore in Aliaga, Izmir and designed to accept up to Q-Flex LNGC (217,000m³ capacity). The FSRU was employed in 1Q 2017 for 3 years charter.

MOL Group Takes Charge of Maintaining Shirashima National Oil Storage Terminal

Japan is one of the world's major oil-consuming countries, and depends on imports for more than 99% of its supply. A disruption in imports would have a huge impact on Japan's economy. In 1975, after the enactment of the Oil Reserve Law, the nation approved an emergency oil reserve and emergency response system to ensure a stable supply of oil.

Japan has limited space and is prone to earthquakes, making land-based oil storage facilities impractical. These factors led to the creation of the Shirashima National Oil Storage Terminal in 1996. Shirashima is Japan's largest petroleum reserve, on the sea 8km off Kita-Kyushu City. The base features state-of-the-art safety systems to protect the environment, and can store 56 million KL of oil.

The MOL Group has been involved in maintenance work at this facility since its inception.
