History
[edit]The floating LNG storage facility is the vessel MT GDF Suez Neptune, which sailed from France to Turkey and moored at a special pier of Terminal in Aliağa district of İzmir Province on 11 December 2016.[1] The 2009-built Norway-flagged LNG carrier is 283 m (928 ft) long and has a beam of 43 m (141 ft).
Capacity
[edit]The facility is capable of storing 145,000 m3 (5,100,000 cu ft) LNG. She can regasify LNG delivered from other ships.[2] The floating storage facility went in service as Turkey's first one of its kind on 23 December 2016.[1][3] It is planned that the annual storage capacity of the Aliağa Terminal, operated by, will be 5.3 million tons. It will increase country's daily natural gas supply capacity from 191,000,000 m3 (6.7×109 cu ft) up to 224,000,000 m3 (7.9×109 cu ft).[1]
