Tradewinds: Curacao Goes To Market For LNG FSRU Solution

21 July 2016: “In a request for proposals, domestic refiner Refineria di Korsou (RdK) invited companies to submit offers for an LNG import and transhipment terminal for the country. RdK is looking for an outfit that will be prepared to develop, finance, build, own and operate a floating LNG facility. The FSRU would be located in the sheltered oil transhipment hub of Bullen Bay on the island’s southwest coast and be used to supply natural gas to Curacao. The project would also entail building a 12.9-km gas pipeline from Bullen Bay to RdK’s refinery in Willemstad. Initial proposals were due to be delivered by the end of June. Poten & Partners is understood to be acting as a consultant for the job.”
