Background
In 2015, Singapore-based gas shipping giant BW won the EGAS tender for the provision of regasification services. Its FSRU, BW Singapore, came into operation in October 2015 in Ain Sokhna.[3] The FSRU served as Egypt’s second import terminal in the port of Ain Sokhna after Ain Sokhna Hoegh FSRU. BW Singapore has a storage capacity in excess of 170,000 cbm and a peak regasification capacity of 750 mmscfd.[7]
According to GIIGNL's 2023 report, the FSRU was under a charter with EGAS through November 2023, when it was transferred to Ravenna FSRU project in Italy.[6]
