Background

Etki FLNG Terminal is a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) in Aegean, Turkey. The FLNG terminal's jetty can receive LNG carriers with capacities as large as 217,000 m³. Etki Liman İşletmeleri Doğal Gaz İthalat ve Ticaret AŞ (Etki Port Operations Natural Gas Import and Trade Inc.), owned by Kolin and Kalyon, developed the project's infrastructure, including a jetty and onshore gas pipeline that connects the FLNG terminal to the national gas transportation system operated by BOTAS.

On December 11, 2016, Engie vessel GDF Suez Neptune arrived at Etki LNG terminal. The Neptune is a floating production storage and offloading (FSRO) vessel with a capacity of 145,130 m³. It was inaugurated on December 23, 2016, becoming the first floating LNG storage facility in Turkey. It can regasify and discharge natural gas directly into the national gas system, with an expected supply of 5.3 billion cubic meters per year.
