Background
Delimara FSRU is a floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) regasification terminal in South Eastern Region, Malta. The FLNG consists of Armada LNG's Mediterrana, a conversion of the former LNG carrier Wakabu Maru, converted by Armada in Singapore under a $300 million contract and delivered in October 2016. The FLNG supplies natural gas to the 200-MW Delimara power station, which has been converted from oil to natural gas.
The FSRU was proposed in tandem with the power station in September 2013.[4] This is also presumed to be the approximate final investment decision date, since this contract was driven by the state-owned power utility company Enemalta in Malta.
It went into service January 2017.[5][6][7][8]
A Malaysian company, Bumi Armada, was contracted to build the LNG tanker, and after initial delays the delivery date was scheduled for Q3 2016. Bumi Armada reportedly did not build the LNG terminal anew, but converted an existing LNG tanker.[9]
The FLNG is chartered in equal parts by German firm Siemens, Azerbaijani state oil firm SOCAR, and GEM Holdings (a consortium of 3 Maltese companies).[10] However, Bumi Armada owns the FSRU.[3]
