Our Solution

LNG Floating Storage Unit and Mooring Infrastructure

The LNG will be off loaded via an innovative jetty-less floating cryogenic line.

The land-based regasification solution can be scaled for future growth as additional modules can be added based on prevailing market conditions.

The regasification facility will provide piped gas at a pressure of 70 bar.

LNG ISO Container

Small-scale LNG will be distributed using additional equipment to load LNG containers for distribution by road. Each ISO container truck can contain 960 GJ of LNG.

Small-Scale LNG Carrier

The Walvis GasPort terminal will support the supply of LNG to other satellite regasification terminals in the region. The WGP terminal design allows for the reloading of small-scale carriers which would support growth opportunities in a potential future ‘milk-run’ regional distribution network.

The Walvis GasPort terminal is designed for a permanently moored 138,000 cubic meters traditional LNG carrier – a Floating Storage Unit, or FSU.

The FSU will be moored using mooring dolphins, which will allow for ship-to-ship transfer of the LNG. No significant dredging is necessary due to the integration of the project with the recently completed oil tanker terminal.

Typical CNG Truck

The regasification facility will also, using additional infrastructure such as compressor stations, be able to supply Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) to small-scale off-takers. CNG, while not as cheap to transport as LNG, is easy for downstream clients to regasify. Each CNG truck will have a capacity of 400 Giga Joules (GJ).

CNG and LNG Road Distribution Radius

CNG = Green

LNG = Blue

The regional supply potential for LNG and CNG from the port of Walvis Bay is indicated in shown in the graphic.

CNG and LNG delivered inside this radius will be approximately 25% cheaper than the current diesel price (as of fourth quarter 2018)
