Atlantic Gulf & Pacific (AG&P), the global downstream gas and LNG logistics company, and ADNOC Logistics and Services (ADNOC L&S) have signed an agreement for the conversion, supply, operations and maintenance of a Floating Storage Unit (FSU) at AG&P鈥檚 new LNG import facility located within Karaikal Port in Puducherry, India. The 137,756 cu m FSU owned by ADNOC L&S is being chartered for 15 years through an innovative commercial model enabling supply to be scaled to match demand. Construction on the terminal will begin in Q1 2020 with commercial operations expected to commence before the end of 2021.听The Karaikal FSU will be only the fourth FSU-based LNG import terminal in the world, after those in Malta, Malaysia and Bahrain. ADNOC L&S will provide a Japan-built, Moss-type containment vessel as FSU for the project from its fleet of eight LNG ships.听鈥淭his agreement with Atlantic Gulf & Pacific is significant for ADNOC Logistics & Services in a number of ways,鈥� said Abdulkareem Al Masabi, CEO, ADNOC L&S. 鈥淔irstly, it represents our first agreement with AG&P and one of our company鈥檚 most important goals is to find creative ways to branch out and find new partnerships around the world to fuel our company鈥檚 safer, smarter growth. It is also an important agreement because it provides AG&P with additional storage flexibility for their LNG terminal as well as giving us the chance to generate more value from one of our historical assets which is coming to the end of its current contract.鈥澨齇wned and operated by AG&P, the LNG import facility at the Karaikal Port will have initial capacity of 1 million tonne per annum (mtpa) which will be expanded to 3 mtpa in the medium term as demand increases. The terminal will serve domestic, industrial and commercial customers within a 500 km radius, including the heavily industrialised region of central Tamil Nadu, which has major manufacturing clusters for the fertilizer, cement, steel, textile, leather, sugar and garment industries. In addition, it will serve gas-fired power plants as well as AG&P鈥檚 own extensive city gas distribution network across South India.听Karthik Sathyamoorthy, President, AG&P Terminals & Logistics, said: 鈥淲e are privileged to work with ADNOC L&S, one of the world鈥檚 leaders in LNG logistics with an extensive, state-of-the-art, highly-maintained fleet. Both of our companies will work very closely to provide a comprehensive LNG solution for our downstream customers through the Karaikal LNG Facility. AG&P has focused on bringing down the unit cost of re-gasification terminals for smaller volumes. AG&P and ADNOC L&S are excited to reach this critical goal for our customers.鈥�
