Krk FSRU is an LNG import terminal in Primorje-Gorski Kotar, Croatia. It is made up of 4 tracked trains and phases.

Is Krk FSRU operating?

Krk FSRU is operating, with its first tracked train starting in 2021.

How much LNG can Krk FSRU handle?

Krk FSRU has 4.49 Mtpa operating, 3.02 Mtpa proposed, equivalent to 6.1 bcm/y of gas a year in operation. Capacity at different statuses is never added together.

Krk FSRU is owned by LNG Croatia LLC, and operated by Golar LNG Ltd and LNG Croatia LLC. Shares are as recorded in the current tracker release.

Which maritime chokepoints do cargoes from Krk FSRU pass?

Cargoes from Krk FSRU would normally pass Strait of Gibraltar, Suez Canal, Bab el-Mandeb and Danish Straits. 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 Krk FSRU?

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

Supplied via

Chokepoints that cargoes arriving at this terminal typically cross, based on where its region is supplied from.

Strait of Gibraltar
Suez Canal
Bab el-Mandeb
Danish Straits

Atlantic-basin supply from the United States crosses no chokepoint, which is why the European exposure figure is lower than it looks.

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, or take the machine-readable exposure feed.

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.
LNG and maritime chokepoints
A maritime chokepoint is a narrow strait or canal that a large share of seaborne trade must pass through, and LNG exposure to them depends entirely on which exporting region supplies which importing market.
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.
