Finland’s FSRU to be offline for August-October maintenance

Finland

Floating LNG Terminal Finland, a unit of Gasgrid, announced in a statement that the FSRU will be at a “dry dock from mid-August to the transition between September and October.”

“This is a routine and pre-planned maintenance operation aimed at ensuring safe and efficient terminal operations,” the company said.

Gasgrid’s unit added that no terminal operations will be available during the maintenance period, while the maintenance work will not “impact the continuity or security of gas transmission.”

According to its AIS data, Exemplar was on Tuesday heading to Munkebo, Denmark, where the Fayard shipyard is located.

Excelerate’s FSRU Exemplar, which serves the Inkoo terminal under a charter deal, has a regasification capacity of more than 5 bcm per year.

The FSRU arrived in Inkoo in December 2022.

Finland relied on LNG imports via the FSRU and the small Hamina LNG terminal to meet domestic demand for households, industry, and power since the Balticconnector gas pipeline between Finland and Estonia suffered a rupture and was shut down in early October 2023.

In April 2024, the Balticconnector offshore gas pipeline, owned by Gasgrid and Estonian gas system operator Elering, resumed commercial operations.

It is worth noting here that Finnish state-owned energy firm Gasum and Eesti Gas, a unit of Estonian investment firm Infortar, previously delivered LNG cargoes to the FSRU.

In addition, Gasgrid’s unit launched last month the annual capacity allocation process for the FSRU-based facility for 2026.

Floating LNG Terminal Finland offered a total of 23 terminal slots of 950 GWh each.
