Background

In November 2018, the Colombian government announced a plan to launch a tender for an FSRU to be located in the Bay of Buenaventura, on the Pacific coast. The FSRU would become the second import terminal in Colombia and would commence operations at the end of 2023. The selection of the winner is expected in mid-2019.
