石油设备网讯 据油价网2022年12月28日消息称，卓越能源公司周三宣布，其浮式储存和再气化装置（FSRU）Exemplar已停泊在芬兰的Inkoo港，这标志着该国减少对进口天然气依赖的重大举措。
FSRU Exemplar长291米，宽43米，可储存150900立方米液化天然气。浮式平台每年具备超过50亿立方米的再气化能力。
卓越能源总裁兼首席执行官Steven Kobos表示：“FSRU Exemplar抵达Inkoo港口是芬兰准备加强其能源安全并为该地区带来必要的能源基础设施的一个重要里程碑。”
随着逐步削减管道天然气流量，欧洲面临能源供应紧张，对LNG浮式储存和再气化装置(LNG- FSRU)的需求今年大幅增加。卓越计划向欧洲输送三个FSRU，其总吞吐能力为150亿立方米，约占2021年从进口的管道和液化天然气的10%。欧洲对终端的需求如此强劲，以至于新兴国家使用FSRU来满足自己的需求可能会降低其承受能力。
目前，全球有48个FSRU在运营，Rystad Energy透露，除了六个之外，所有FSRU都被锁定在定期租约中。
根据能源智库Ember的数据，欧盟已经制定了多达19个新的FSRU项目的计划，估计成本为95亿欧元。
最大的受益者是韩国造船业，FSRU是他们的主要收入来源。韩国在这一领域绝对处于世界领先地位。据当地媒体报道，迄今为止，韩国造船企业的订单比去年同期增加了46%。政府的目标是到2030年占据75%的市场份额。

Excelerate Energy Delivers Finland’s First Ever Floating LNG Terminal
Excelerate Energy, Inc. (NYSE: EE) announced on Wednesday that its floating storage and regasification unit ("FSRU"), the Exemplar, has anchored at Finland’s port of Inkoo, heralding a major move in the country’s goals to reduce independence on natural gas.
The FSRU Exemplar measures 291 meters long and 43 meters wide with a storage capacity of 150,900 m3 of LNG. The floating platform can process more than 5 billion cubic meters per year (bcm/y) of regasification capacity.
"The arrival of the FSRU Exemplar at the port of Inkoo represents an important milestone for Finland as it prepares to enhance its energy security and bring essential energy infrastructure to the region," Steven Kobos, President and CEO of Excelerate, has said.
Demand for LNG floating storage and regasification units (LNG-FSRUs) has increased sharply this year, with Europe facing an energy supply squeeze as it has progressively cut pipeline gas flows. Accelerate plans to send three FSRUs to Europe with combined throughput capacity to import 15 billion cubic meters of gas, or about 10% of the pipeline and LNG imports in 2021. Demand for the terminals in Europe is so strong that it could make it less affordable for emerging nations to use FSRUs for their own needs
Currently, there are 48 FSRUs in operation globally, with Rystad Energy revealing that all but six of them are locked into term charters.
According to energy think-tank Ember, the EU has lined up plans for as many as 19 new FSRU projects at an estimated cost of €9.5bn.
The biggest beneficiaries are Korean shipbuilding, for whom FSRUs are a major revenue-generator. Korea is the definitive world leader in this field. According to local media, Korean shipbuilders managed to book 46% more orders so far, YoY. And the government’s goal is for the country to grab 75% of the market share by 2030.
