In the statement, Elengy claims that this milestone reflects the adaptability of the Fos Cavaou and Montoir-de-Bretagne LNG terminals. The former commenced operations in 2010, has a capacity of 8.25 billion m3/yr and a storage capacity of 330 000 m3. The latter commenced operations in 1980, has a capacity of 10 billion m3/yr, and a storage capacity of 360 000 m3. They are located on the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts, respectively.
The company is able to reload LNG at the two terminals at a rate of 4000 m3/hr. At the company’s third terminal – Fos Tonkin – LNG can be reloaded at a rate of 1000 m3/hr.
The Montoir-de-Bretagne terminal was recently temporarily forced into automatic shutdown following a defect on a controller.
