FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin Floating Storage Regasification Units (FSRUs) are floating structures that bring LNG to the coast after receiving it offshore and regasifying it there. They provide the benefits of a quicker development process and reduced construction costs as compared to onshore storage tanks and regasification facilities. FSRUs are built on LNG tankers and use similar technology to onshore terminals. One main difference is that the equipment has been modified so that it can be used in shipyards and on the sea. They can be installed as a separate unit aboard the LNG carrier, or they can be converted into an independent unit and placed in a specific location as an offshore installation.
