Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement (BSM) has taken on the technical management of an FSRU for the first time. The vessel is managed by Pronav, BSM’s highly specialised Ship Management Centre, which exclusively operates large scale LNG carriers from its Hamburg-based office. The 2019 built FSRU Turquoise P, owned by Pardus Energy Ltd, is stationed at the Etki Liman LNG terminal in the Turkish Aegean Sea, near Izmir. He emphasises that the LNG segment is subject to the most demanding industry requirements and that the highest safety and quality standards are key in LNG ship management. The Etki Liman LNG terminal, connected to Türkiye’s national gas grid, is of major importance in supplying energy to the Izmir region, especially during times of peak demand or seasonal fluctuations.
