Vopak計劃收購Exmar再氣化裝置業務

Dutch Vopak and Belgian shipowner Exmar announced September 2 that they are in talks to explore the possibility of an acquisition of Exmar’s share in its floating LNG storage and regasification units (FSRU) business by Vopak. Vopak said it considers FSRUs as a way to serve its existing customers, who require ready-to-go solutions to access growing LNG import markets.It already counts LNG as one of its strategic focus areas and jointly owns and operates two land-based LNG terminals: Gate at Rotterdam (with Gasunie), and the TLA terminal in Altamira (with Spain’s Enagas) in eastern Mexico. Exmar, active in LNG shipping for over 35 years, is currently co-owner and or operator of ten FSRUs, and has one FSRU and one floating liquefaction (FLNG) facility under construction.
