Since the beginning of 2022, Europe is facing a profound transformation of its energy system and must take up the challenge of diversifying and securing its gas supply.
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is playing an increasing role in meeting this challenge. Several initiatives have been launched in Europe to build new LNG import terminals, in particular floating storage regasification units (FSRUs), a solution that is quick to implement and reversible.

Ensure the follow-up of the LNG carriers, the unloading of the cargoes and the management of the associated documentation (bill of lading, unloading report, etc).
Optimize, in coordination with Hoegh, all the operations necessary for the unloading of the cargoes in order to avoid any delay and possible penalties attributable to TELSF.
Manage all activities related to nominations with shippers, FSRU and GRTGaz.
