Background

Singapore-based gas shipping giant BW said its FSRU BW Singapore has been relocated to the port in Sumed, Egypt to continue its contract with the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS). The FSRU so far served as Egypt’s second import terminal in the port of Ain Sokhna. BW Singapore, serving EGAS under a five-year charter, has a storage capacity in excess of 170,000 cbm and a peak regasification capacity of 750 mmscfd.[5] It is stationed next to the Ain Sokhna Hoegh LNG Terminal.

According to GIIGNL's 2023 report, the FSRU is under a charter with EGAS through November 2023, after which it will be transferred to Ravenna FSRU project in Italy.[4]
