Shell Moves Ahead With Kakinada FLNG Plans

Royal Dutch Shell on Monday announced the inking of a port service agreement with Kakinada Seaports Ltd (KSL) for setting up a floating LNG import terminal at Kakinada in Andhra Pradesh, India.

A draft environmental impact assessment report has also been submitted, which along with the Port Services Agreement was described by Shell as “two important milestones”, Daily Pioneer reported.

Shell had on May 31 last year announced the setting up of a floating facility to import 5 million tonne a year of liquefied natural gas (LNG) at Kakinada. 

“The draft Environmental Impact Assessment report for the proposed development of the Andhra LNG terminal at the Kakinada deepwater port was recently submitted to the State Pollution Control Board in Kakinada,” Shell India said in a statement.
