Background

In December 2019, a Ministerial advisor in Morocco said the project will move forward in 2020 with a floating terminal scheduled for operation by 2021.

In May 2021, UK's Predator Oil & Gas submitted a bid to the government of Morocco to own and operate the facility. In a statement Predator said that the initial scope of the FSRU project would be an annual requirement of 1.1 bcm by 2025 rising to 1.7 bcm in 2030 and 3 bcm in 2040.

In January 2022, Morocco invited bids to carry out a study on plans for upgrading Mohammedia port near Casablanca to potentially host an LNG FSRU and related infrastructure.
