OLT Offshore completes ‘extraordinary maintenance’ of LNG Toscana terminal, prepares for reconnection off Italy’s coast

(WO) - OLT Offshore LNG Toscana announced that the extraordinary maintenance activities of the FSRU Toscana terminal have been successfully completed.

The terminal left Marseille on Oct. 1 and will be towed back to Italy to reach the site off the coast between Livorno and Pisa where it was previously moored, for its re-installation and reconnection to the gas system.

Arrival is scheduled for Oct. 2.

Following the first part of maintenance activities in Genoa in June, the Terminal was moved to Marseille, at the Chantier Naval of San Giorgio del Porto S.p.A., to complete the extraordinary maintenance intervention aimed at replacing the bearing of the anchoring system.

Upon return to Livorno, preparatory activities for the reconnection of the anchoring system and systems connecting the Terminal to the national gas network will be carried out during the following weeks.

A cooling-down phase of the plant is planned, with the discharge of an LNG cargo, aimed at resuming commercial operations of the Terminal currently scheduled for 24 November.
