Regasificadora del Pacífico receives storage unit in Buenaventura

The Floating Storage Unit (FSU) ‘Tura’ has arrived at the Port of Buenaventura to support the Regasificadora del Pacífico project in Colombia. The vessel, which traveled from China, has a storage capacity of approximately 146,000 cubic meters of liquefied natural gas (LNG).

Operated by Exmar, the FSU will receive LNG for about 30 days before the gas is transported to Guadalajara de Buga to be regasified and injected into the National Transport System. This project aims to secure energy supplies for southwestern Colombia and meet projected demand for the 2026–2028 period. The facility in Buenaventura is expected to be capable of supplying 1.5 million cubic feet of gas per day by the end of 2026.
