First STS Transfer in Bahamas done by Excelerate and Equinor

The first ever ship-to-ship (STS) transfer of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in The Bahamas was completed on February 7, 2019 between Excelerate Energy L.P. and Equinor Energy AS.

While moored at Equinor’s South Riding Point storage and transshipment terminal, a full cargo was transferred between Excelerate’s Exemplar and Equinor’s Arctic Voyager using the double-banked LNG transfer system.

Excelerate recently completed its 1500th transfer on February 3rd at the Engro Elengy Terminal in Port Qasim, Pakistan.

Excelerate’s Chief Commercial Officer Daniel Bustos said, “This new STS location allows us to provide additional commercial flexibility to our customers and respond to prompt market needs in a safe and reliable manner.”
