Indonesia's First Mini LNG Terminal to Start Operations in March

Indonesia’s first mini LNG terminal will start operations in March, reported Jakarta Post newspaper on Friday.  

The terminal will supply 40 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) of gas to Bali’s Pesanggaran power plant.

Pelindo Energi Logistik (PEL), a subsidiary of state-owned port operator Pelindo Indonesia III, has signed a contract with Jaya Samudra Karunia Group (JSK Group) to operate the Benoa LNG terminal, consisting of a floating regasification unit (FRU) and a floating storage unit (FSU).

"The first gas cargo will be delivered on March 1, but the plant will come on stream a week earlier for commissioning purposes," Jakarta Post quoted PT Pelindo Energi Logistik (PEL) director Gembong Primajaya as saying.

Gembong said that this concept is ideal for an archipelagic country like Indonesia.
