Excelerate developed its first LNG floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) terminal in Bangladesh in 2018.

In a press statement, Excelerate said: “In the years since, the Company deployed a second FSRU terminal to the Bay of Bengal and has utilized its infrastructure position to win spot LNG cargos sales into Bangladesh.”

The two Excelerate’s FSRUs have the capacity to deliver around 25% of the country’s natural gas supply.

Currently, Petrobangla imports LNG from foreign countries via the Maheshkhali LNG terminal in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh.

The Maheshkhali terminal has up to 500 million standard cubic feet of gas per day of regasification capacity.

Earlier this year, Excelerate Energy acquired the FSRU Sequoia for $265m from Anemoesa Marine.
