Background on the technology and the terms used on this page.

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.
Mtpa, bcm and cubic metres
LNG capacity is quoted in three incompatible units, and the two conversions that matter are 1 million tonnes a year equals about 1.36 billion cubic metres of gas a year, and 1 cubic metre of liquid equals about 600 cubic metres of gas.
Reading a capacity figure without being misled
An LNG capacity figure is only meaningful alongside three qualifiers — which unit it is in, which project status it describes, and whether it is a design nameplate or actual output — and most disagreements between sources come from one of those being dropped.
What terminal status actually means
A project status describes how far an LNG terminal or train has progressed, and the gap between proposed and operating is the single most misread number in the industry.
