The Reganosa terminal in Mugardos accommodated the smallest vessel ever docked at its pier over the previous weekend when Coral Fungia with a deadweight tonnage of 10,441 tonnes delivered the chilled fuel from the liquefication plant in Cryogas in Vysotsk on the Baltic coast of Russia Aside from serving conventional plants like the one in Mugardos the vessel is able to transport smaller quantities of LNG to smaller plants located on ports meaning it can directly supply another ship with fuel thanks to its double manifold at different heights Reganosa noted that the liquefication plant that the Coral Fungia comes from only began exporting this past April It has an annual capacity of 640,000 tonnes of LNG In accordance with the evolution of the sector Reganosa added it is progressing with its adaptation of the pier for small-scale vessel traffic for which it will be equipped with suitable connections for receiving and supplying LNG to small gas tankers that can supply satellite port plants or other vessels that use this type of fuel for shipping Spanish LNG terminal operator Reganosa says that their facility Mugardos in the port of Ferrol will only consume green power This is a result of an agreement with the supplier Naturgy a Spanish multinational natural gas and electrical energy utilities company The Mugardos liquefied natural gas terminal is estimated to require approximately 25 gigawatt hours for its operation in 2021 Naturgy will be in charge of the required electricity supply This will bring 100 per cent renewable energy to the complex with a certified guarantee of origin Reganosa reaffirms its commitment to sustainability and caring for the environment both of which are part of its decarbonization and energy transformation strategy The Pioneers of Offshore Engineering GustoMSC part of NOV’s Marine and Construction business is recognized for providing advanced design & engineering consultancy for mobile offshore units and reliable equipment and technical knowledge into realistic & innovative ideas The performance of new and existing jack-ups
