This is the second coastal shuttle transport project following one serving for West Java, for which MOL secured an order in 2011. In that project, a vessel shuttle-transports LNG to the Port of Benoa, and discharges it to a floating storage unit (FSU) moored there. PEL, the charterer, is working to establish a gas value chain with the new method-transferring LNG discharged to FSU to the floating regasification unit (FRU) moored at the pier. This facility regasifies the LNG and pipes the gas to a power plant on Bali. This is a groundbreaking project that pioneers a new mode of transport for natural gas. Since 1986 when MOL established a joint ship management company with a local partner in Indonesia, it has focused on training Indonesian mariners. As a world-leading LNG carrier owner and management company, it takes a proactive stance in offering LNG transport services in Southeast Asia including Indonesia, where domestic demand is increasing for natural gas as a clean energy source, by effectively using its accumulated know-how and resources not only in the ocean LNG carrier field, but also in coastal LNG transport.
