- Ghana’s new floating Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) terminal at the port of Tema, is set to receive its maiden shipment from Shell in the coming weeks.
- The Tema LNG terminal is funded by Helios Investment Partners and Africa Infrastructure Investment Managers (AIIM).
- The terminal, made up of a dedicated floating regasification vessel and a separate LNG storage vessel, has the capacity to import 1.7 million mt/year of LNG.
- Spain’s Reganosa was awarded the contract to operate and maintain the terminal as well as an associated 6-km gas pipeline.
LNG will be supplied under a long-term contract with Shell. The terminal will be mechanically ready for full operation at the end of March 2021 with the first consignment expected before the end of Q1 2021.
The new gas supply will enable Ghana National Petroleum Company (GNPC) to supply reliable and cost-effective gas into the Tema power and industrial enclave.
