Wärtsilä to extend regasification capacity for Croatian LNG terminal

Technology group Wärtsilä has been contracted to extend the capacity of the regasification system installed onboard the ‘LNG Croatia’ with a new regasification module. The order for the new system was booked by Wärtsilä in the second quarter of 2023.

In particular, the 280-metre-long Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) vessel, owned by Zagreb-based LNG Hrvatska, acts as the company’s LNG terminal on Krk island.

“The existing Wärtsilä regasification module onboard the ‘LNG Croatia’ has been efficient and reliable. We are pleased therefore to once again turn to Wärtsilä for this new unit that will allow us to meet our expansion plans,” said Ivan Fugaš, managing director of LNG Hrvatska.

According to Wärtsilä, the new module will supplement the vessel’s existing onboard Wärtsilä regasification system and increase the terminal’s capacity with 212 million standard cubic feet per day or 250,000 m³ per hour.

Wärtsilä also aims to supply the engineering for the capacity conversion. The plant will be installed during the summer of 2025.
