Avenir LNG and Golar Power to develop Brazilian small scale LNG market

According to the statement, Avenir will employ its second 7500 m³ LNG carrier to deliver LNG to various ports across Brazil upon delivery. In addition to this, the vessel will also offer ship-to-ship (STS) bunkering capability as part of Avenir’s global multi-nodal bunkering solution, adding to the Columbian, Mediterranean and Malaysian nodes which the company currently offers.

Andrew Pickering, Chief Executive Officer of Avenir LNG Ltd, said: “This is another step in our strategy where we are working closely with a shareholder in leveraging its FSRU platform to develop small scale LNG distribution and bunkering in key developing markets.”

Eduardo Antonello, Chief Executive Officer of Golar Power Ltd, added: “Accessing small scale tonnage to distribute LNG in Brazil underpins Golar Power’s commitment to the fast-growing Brazilian LNG market – a pivotal part of Golar Power’s strategy. We are pleased to be able to leverage Golar LNG’s shareholding and direct access to tonnage through Avenir LNG.”
