The main components of the project include converting a former LNG carrier with 136,000m³ of storage capacity into a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) in China, building a jetty and jetty-borne gas pipeline, construction of an onshore gas pipeline and associated infrastructure.

After converting the LNG carrier into an FSRU, the vessel will be equipped with a regasification modular unit. The completed terminal will be capable of receiving LNG from LNG carries sized between 120,000 to 217,000m³.

ETYFA had selected a joint venture of China Petroleum Pipeline Engineering, Metron, Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding, and Wilhelmsen Ship Management in an international tender for engineering, procurement, construction, management and operation aspects of the project.
