OLT OFFSHORE LNG TOSCANA Information

The OLT project consisted in the conversion of an existing LNG carrier (“Golar Frost”) into a floating regasification terminal, which transforms the liquefied natural gas (LNG) back to its normal gaseous state. “FSRU Toscana”, through a mooring system, is permanently anchored to the seabed about 22 km off the coast between Livorno and Pisa, with a single point of rotation at the bow in order to allow the ship to move around the anchorage turret, adapting to sea weather conditions. The Terminal has a maximum authorized regasification capacity of 3,75 Standard billion cubic meters a year (which corresponds approximately to 5% of the annual national gas requirement), a maximum regasification capacity of 15 Standard million cubic meters a day and a gross storage capacity of 137,100 cubic metres of LNG.
