Swan LNG Private Limited (a subsidiary of Swan Energy Limited) has awarded Black & Veatch the EPC contract to deliver the jetty topside and onshore LNG facilities for the 5 million metric tonnes per annum (MMTPA) plant at Jafrabad in Gujarat. The new FSRU will be moored to a fixed jetty and regasify imported LNG to enable distribution by pipeline and road tanker. The facility is expected to go on-stream by early-2020.
Rajiv Menon, Managing Director, Black & Veatch India said, “GoI aims to significantly increase LNG import capacity by 2022. This project is a major step in this direction. The Jafrabad project, along with the IOC's LNG receiving terminal project at Ennore, signifies the trust placed by the industry in Black & Veatch to deliver LNG projects.”
