Dhaka, 30th May 2024 - On 27th May 2024, during the peak of cyclone Remal, a stray broken floating pontoon hit Summit LNG Terminal Co. (Pvt) Ltd’s (SLNG) Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) in Moheshkhali, Cox’s Bazar. There was damage to the ballast water tank of the FSRU. As per the standard operational protocol, an expert surveyor is on way to board the FSRU to assess the damage. Based on the surveyor’s report of the situation, we would be able to share further details. Summit is in close communications with Rupantarita Prakritik Gas Company Limited (RPGCL) and Petrobangla.
Due to the sensitive and explosive nature of handling LNG and national importance of FSRU in terms of gas supply to the national grid, Summit and the FSRU operator are taking full precaution in rectifying the matter before resuming normal operations.
