Exmar lands 10-year Abidjan FSRU deal

Exmar has entered into agreements with state-owned CI-Energies and Petroci to lease a 152,000 cu m FSRU at the Port of Abidjan for 10 years. The project revives plans for an LNG import terminal in Ivory Coast that date back to 2016 and never reached operation. Exmar is expanding its floating LNG infrastructure portfolio with additional vessels and contracts.

Why it matters: This matters for the theme of floating LNG infrastructure, as it adds a long-term contract to Exmar's growing portfolio and advances Ivory Coast's long-delayed LNG import plans.
