Summit Group on Wednesday announced that Summit LNG Terminal Co Pvt Limited was ready for ship-to-ship transfer and regasification of LNG in order to send out 500 million cubic feet per day regasified LNG to the national grid.聽
Considering the national importance of SLNG to meet the demand of power, fertiliser and gas in the industrial sectors, Summit鈥檚 officials along with its international partners have been working tirelessly around the clock to resume gas supply to the national grid.
During the period of over three months when Summit鈥檚 floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) was initially damaged by cyclone Remal, Summit has spent millions of dollars in repair related expenditure.
On May 23, the ship-to-ship transfer was strategically avoided due the onset of cyclone Remal. A few days later on May 27, during the peak of cyclone Remal, a stray broken floating pontoon weighing hundreds of tonnes repeatedly hit Summit鈥檚 FSRU causing damage to the ballast water tank.聽
After assessment of the damage to the FSRU by international expert surveyors, the FSRU with Disconnectable Cone and plugs, sailed to Singapore for dry docking. Upon repairs on July 10, the FSRU had returned from Singapore to Moheshkhali, Cox鈥檚 Bazar, said a press release.
