The floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) sector is rapidly emerging as a key piece of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply chain. Strategically positioned, FSRUs deliver natural gas to national grids and critical energy infrastructure, supporting global energy security. In locations where land-based regasification terminals aren’t available, FSRUs can offer a clean, cost-effective and reliable energy source.
An FSRU is a specialized LNG carrier equipped with regasification technology that can be moored near-shore or at a jetty. While FSRUs perform the same function as onshore LNG receiving terminals, their primary cost-advantage lies in their mobility with fast deployment capability compared to fixed onshore terminals. Additionally, FSRUs can operate as standard LNG carriers when not engaged in regasification, thus maximizing dependability and asset utilization.
With over 160 years of maritime experience with vessels and assets in the water, ABS supports FSRU projects worldwide with specialized services throughout the entire life cycle — from initial concept and design to operation. Our unparalleled knowledge positions ABS as a trusted partner in advancing FSRU projects globally, helping them meet operational, sustainability and safety goals.
Leveraging decades of experience classing more than 200 LNG carriers, ABS has developed industry-leading guidance for classing regasification vessels while promoting safety in the expanding LNG market.
As the global energy market evolves, FSRUs are expected to be essential to meeting future energy demands. Partnering with ABS provides you with unmatched expertise, innovative solutions, and a commitment to operational excellence and sustainability.
