INLAND • COASTAL • OFFSHORE • DEEPSEA Floating LNG terminal gets green light fter three years of extensive review, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) last month unanimously approved construction and operation of the Broadwater LNG Project, the first floating terminal for the storage and delivery of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the U.S. The Broadwater LNG Project, located in Long Island Sound, is a joint venture between TransCanada and Shell US Gas and Power. FERC’s approval is subject to the operator adopting various measures to enhance safety and security and limit its environmental impacts. The Broadwater project would deliver up to 1.25 billion ft3 of natural gas per day to fuel electric generating plants and heat homes. It would consist of a Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) that would measure about 1,215 feet long and 200 feet wide, rising 80 feet above the water line of Long Island A Artist’s concept of the Broadwater FSRU Sound. A yoke mooring system will be used to moor the FSRU to a fixed tower. The system will allow the FSRU to “weathervane,” around the tower and to withstand events exceeding 100-year storm conditions. The project would include LNG storage tanks, a regasification plant and a 21.7 mile long pipeline connecting with the Iroquois Gas Transmission System to bring the gas onshore. 8 MARINE LOG APRIL 2008 www.marinelog.com http://www.pointeightpower.com http://www.pointeightpower.com http://www.marinelog.com
