AG&P secures FSU for LNG import terminal in India

A charter agreement for the use of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier as a floating storage unit in India has been inked by Singapore-based Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific (AG&P) and the maritime logistics division of state oil company Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC).

ADNOC Logistics & Services is the owner of the LNG ship (ADNOC L&S). It will be put to use at AG&P's LNG import terminal in India, which will be put into operation in the second half of 2024, the company said in a statement.

This is the third contract the two businesses have signed for the lease of floating storage units in India and the Philippines. The arrangement is valid for 11 years with a four-year extension option.

The announcement further stated that ADNOC L&S will handle its operations and maintenance while GAS Entec, an AG&P subsidiary, would transform the LNG carrier into a floating storage unit.

The integrated terminal's initial capacity will be 5 million tonnes per year, and the floating storage unit will be anchored next to a unit for regasification (mtpa).

Early in December, a representative of AG&P stated that the business planned to build its first LNG terminal in India by the end of 2024.

No glass boxes!

India is moving away from the ‘glass box’ syndrome, all-glass façades that were widely used in commercial buildings in the last two decades but came at a significant environmental cost given the country’s predominantly hot and humid climate. Poor thermal performance, excessive heat gain and dependency on mechanical cooling systems made buildings with glass façades energy guzzlers and significantly increased their carbon footprint.That said, it’s important to be aware that “glass is not the enemy,” points out Heena Bhargava, Architect, Architecture Discipline. “How it ..
