FSRU investment heatmapDemand for floating storage and regasification units is booming amid rapid expansion of global liquefied natural gas trades. With LNG prices expected to remain competitive due to rising exports from Australia and the US, many emerging economies are opting for the quicker, cheaper floating solutions to import gas compared with conventional onshore facilities.

We have observed 20 FSRUs operating as terminals and four trading as LNG tankers. Another nine under construction will be delivered from now until 2020. More conversion and newbuilding orders are expected to be placed to meet the rising demand.
