Background
On May 30, 2022 SNAM's board of director approved a transaction to acquired the Golar Tundra FRSU vessel from Golar LNG for 350 million USD.[2] The 2015 vessel has a storage capacity of around 170,000 cubic metres of LNG and a continuous regasification capacity of 5 billion cubic meters per year.[3]
During its April 2021 annual general meeting (AGM), SNAM stated that the Porto Torres FRSU was expected to start its impact assessment procedure in 2022 and begin operations in 2025[1], however as of June 2022, SNAM expected the project to "start operations as an FSRU during the spring of 2023".[3]
In January 2023, L'Unione Sarda reported that the project was proceeding rapidly, and that SNAM had filed for an Environmental Impact Assessment with the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security, for which a comment period would be open through January 19. The article said the terminal was expected to be completed within the year.[4]
