Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU)

A Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) is a specialized ship used to import natural gas. It acts as a mobile gas processing plant at sea, storing liquefied natural gas (LNG) and converting it back into gaseous form for delivery. FSRUs provide a flexible, faster alternative to traditional land-based LNG terminals, enabling countries to access natural gas without extensive infrastructure investment. They are crucial for meeting energy needs, especially in areas where building land-based facilities is challenging or time-consuming.
