PARIS — Technip Energies Loading Systems will supply a marine loading arm to TotalEnergies as part of the floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) project in Le Havre, France.
The offloading solution will be installed on Bougainville dock in Le Havre and will consist of a marine loading arm to transfer regasified LNG from the proposed FSRU to the shore.
This project was initiated by TotalEnergies and the French Minister of Ecological Transition, following the geopolitical context to strengthen France’s energy independence by increasing LNG imports by ship and ultimately mitigate the impact of a potential reduction of gas deliveries by pipeline. The FSRU project in Le Havre could allow France to increase its regasification capacity by about 5 Bcm/year, which corresponds to the average annual gas consumption of more than 4 million households in France.
The marine loading arm will be designed, manufactured and tested at Technip Energies Loading Systems plant in Sens, France.
