CHATTOGRAM, Sept 11:The Summit Floating Storage Regasification Unit (FSRU) situated at Matarbari resumed operation on Wednesday afternoon. The unit will go to full operation today(Thursday), said Kamruzzaman Khan, Director Operation of Petrobangla.
He said that two units will produce over 1,100 million cft of gas at the end of the current month.
Meanwhile the repair of the damaged portion of the unit was delayed due to critical situation of the underwater damage caused to the Unit.
A group of experts completed the repairs to restore operation. The existing Excellerate FSRU has been producing 600 million cft of LNG.
The Singapore-based service providers traced the damage to the disconnectable turret mooring plug located in the subsea landing pad through which it holds the FSRU, said the sources. They said that the Summit FSRU suffered damages on July 10, during anchorage at Matarbari, after arrival from Singapore.
Summit's Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) returned from Singapore to Moheshkhali, Cox's Bazar after undergoing repairs to its ballast water tank on 10 July. On July 11, while preparing to moor the FSRU with the Disconnectable Turret Mooring (DTM) plug in the subsea landing pad, an unexpected entanglement and subsequent damage to the DTM buoy messenger line occurred.
