LIVORNO, Italy — OLT Offshore LNG Toscana says the FSRU Toscana terminal has been disconnected from its location offshore Livorno, western Italy.
It will now be towed, using two tugs, to Genoa, where it will remain at the dock for about a month for the first phase of a maintenance/intervention program.
This will involve replacing the bearing of the anchoring system, which is designed to ensure rotation of the terminal around the geostationary turret permanently anchored to the seabed. San Giorgio del Porto (SGdP) will perform the work.
In early June, the FSRU Toscana terminal will be towed to SGdP yard at the port of Marseille, where maintenance will be completed.
Shipyard activities should be completed by mid-September, followed by operations to re-install the terminal offshore Livorno. Production should then resume from mid-October.
OLT Offshore LNG Toscana, a company controlled by Snam and Igneo Infrastructure Partners, owns and manages the floating regasification terminal, which has been moored about 22 km off the coast between Livorno and Pisa.
It is connected to the Italian grid via a 36.5-km pipeline, operated and managed by Snam, of which about 29.5 km is subsea, 5 km in the floodway, and the remaining 2 km on dry land. FSRU Toscana has a maximum regasification capacity of 5 Bcm/year.
