Offshore Terminal NUSANTARA REGAS SATU, also known simply as NUSANTARA REGAS SATU, is an offshore Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) receiving and regasification terminal. Here is a detailed description and specification of this offshore terminal:

General Information

1. Name: NUSANTARA REGAS SATU
2. Location: The terminal is registered under the flag of the Marshall Islands. It generally operates in maritime regions pertinent to its function but is associated with Indonesia's LNG infrastructure.
3. Type: Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU)

Technical Specifications

1. Construction and Conversion

   • Originally built as an LNG carrier and later converted into an FSRU to serve its current role.

2. Dimensions

   • Length Overall (LOA): Approximately 283 meters.
   • Breadth: Around 43.5 meters.
   • Draft: The draft specifics can vary, but it is generally designed to remain stable in varying water depths.

3. Capacity

   • Storage Capacity: Can store around 125,000 to 150,000 cubic meters of LNG.
   • Regasification Rate: Typically capable of handling a regasification rate up to 500 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD).

4. Facilities and Equipment

   • Storage Tanks: Equipped with specialized containment systems for LNG.
   • Regasification System: Includes vaporizers and related technology to convert LNG back into natural gas for distribution via subsea pipelines.
   • Mooring System: Fitted with advanced mooring systems suitable for stable operations in offshore environments.
   • Safety Systems: Equipped with a comprehensive range of safety and emergency systems including fire suppression, leak detection, and emergency shutdown mechanisms.

Operational Aspects

1. Functionality

   • Receives LNG from ocean-going LNG carriers.
   • Stores the LNG onboard before processing.
   • Regasifies the LNG to meet demand as required, following which the natural gas is transmitted to shore via pipelines.

2. Connectivity

   • Connected to subsea pipelines which transport the regasified LNG to onshore facilities or directly to distribution networks.

3. Automation and Control

   • High level of automation for process control, safety management, and operational efficiency.

Importance and Usage

NUSANTARA REGAS SATU is integral to Indonesia's natural gas supply chain, enhancing the country's capacity to import LNG and meet its domestic energy needs. The unit provides a flexible and efficient solution to address energy demand, particularly for regions otherwise difficult to supply via traditional LNG infrastructure.

Registration and Compliance

1. Flag State: Marshall Islands, in accordance with its maritime registration protocols.
2. Compliance: Abides by international maritime safety standards and the International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulations pertinent to LNG carriers and FSRUs.
3. Certifications: Certified by relevant marine and safety authorities to operate in its designated capacity, ensuring adherence to environmental and operational safety standards.

This description highlights the critical capabilities and operational significance of NUSANTARA REGAS SATU, reflecting its strategic role in the maritime LNG supply chain, particularly in the context of Indonesia's energy infrastructure.
