A Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) is a special type of ship used for the LNG transportation, which is capable of transporting, storing, and regasifying LNG onboard. Floating regasification also requires either an offshore terminal, which typically includes a buoy and connecting undersea pipelines to transport regasified LNG to shore, or an onshore dockside receiving terminal. Compared to conventional onshore regasification terminals, FSRUs offer more flexibility, with the option to be deployed anywhere along the shore. A FSRU is one of the fastest growing shipping sectors at present which is the dedicated fleet of specialist ships carrying liquefied natural gas (LNG).
