Texas-based Excelerate Energy said its floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) Exquisite completed the 200th ship-to-ship transfer of LNG at the Engro Elengy terminal (EETL) in Pakistan’s Port Qasim.

The facility has been in operation since 2015 and consists of an LNG jetty including a 7.5 km high-pressure gas pipeline that is connected to the grid of Elengy Terminal Pakistan (EETPL) sole customer, the state-owned, Sui Southern Gas Company.

EETPL holds a 15-year time charter for the FSRU Exquisite that has a baseload capacity of 690 million cubic feet per day.
