Ballena FSRU

Routing is an editorial model of typical laden voyages, held in a hand-maintained lane table. It is not vessel tracking, and it does not account for diversions, canal draught limits, ice class or seasonal closures. See methodology, browse every chokepoint, or take the machine-readable exposure feed.

Where is Ballena FSRU?

Ballena FSRU is an LNG import terminal in La Guajira, Colombia. It is made up of 1 tracked train or phase.

Is Ballena FSRU operating?

Ballena FSRU is proposed. Nothing here should be read as a forecast that it will be built.

How much LNG can Ballena FSRU handle?

Ballena FSRU has 1.99 Mtpa proposed. Capacity at different statuses is never added together.

Who owns Ballena FSRU?

Ballena FSRU is owned by Ecopetrol SA, and operated by Ecopetrol SA. Shares are as recorded in the current tracker release.

Which maritime chokepoints do cargoes from Ballena FSRU pass?

Cargoes from Ballena FSRU would normally pass Panama Canal. This is an editorial model of typical laden voyages by destination market, not vessel tracking, and any individual cargo may go another way.

What pipelines connect to Ballena FSRU?

15 tracked gas pipelines pass within 25 km of Ballena FSRU. Proximity is not proof of a physical connection; each match is listed with its distance.

• FSRU versus onshore regasification

  An FSRU is a ship that stores LNG and turns it back into gas while moored, doing the job of an onshore import terminal without the onshore construction.

• What an import terminal actually does

  An LNG import terminal receives cargo from a ship, stores it as a cryogenic liquid, pumps it to pipeline pressure and warms it back into gas for delivery into a grid.

• Send-out, peak shaving and the grid connection

  Send-out is the rate at which an import terminal delivers regasified LNG into a pipeline network, and it is the capacity figure that governs what the terminal can actually do.

• Storage tanks, 9% nickel and high-manganese steel

  An LNG storage tank holds liquid at close to atmospheric pressure in an inner shell of cryogenic alloy, surrounded by insulation and, in the full containment design, an outer concrete wall capable of containing the entire contents.
