Background

The purpose of the FSRU is to serve as a terminal and supply the Russian exclave Kaliningrad with LNG in case the Minsk-Kaliningrad Interconnection Gas Pipeline is shut down. It was briefly in use as a terminal in Kaliningrad and later remained idle. The FSRU was leased to the Austrian OMV and used as an LNG storage facility, moored at the port of Rotterdam from August to November, 2019. The vessel was later used as a gas tanker to transport LNG to India, and transporting U.S. LNG to Europe.

Theoretically, the FSRU can be used  as an export/import terminal.

As of June 2023, the FSRU remains idle in the Baltic Sea bay near Kaliningrad region.
