Boskalis awarded sizable FSRU contract in El Salvador
Papendrecht, 23 December 2019
Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V. (Boskalis) has been
awarded a sizable (1) contract to connect an offshore Floating
Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) to an onshore power plant in
El Salvador. The contract was awarded by Energia del Pacifico
(EDP), a 378-MW liquefied natural gas (LNG)-to-power infrastructure
project at the Port of Acajutla, El Salvador. The project will
commence early 2020 and is scheduled to be operational by the end
of 2021.The project entails the construction of a
two-kilometer-long gas pipeline connection from the onshore power
plant to an offshore FSRU including the mooring and hook-up. This
will include the construction of a micro tunnel from the power
plant into the sea followed by the dredging of an offshore pipeline
trench. With the aid of a construction support vessel (CSV)
Boskalis will pull the 24 inch pipeline through the micro tunnel
and trench. At the offshore location, a riser will be installed to
connect the FSRU to the pipeline, in addition to an anchor spread
with 11 anchors to permanently moor the FSRU in position. The final
phase of the project involves the physical mooring of the FSRU and
the FSRU hook-up. For these activities Boskalis will deploy a CSV,
a medium-sized trailer suction hopper dredger and a backhoe
dredger.
With the development of this thermal powerplant, EDP will
contribute to the diversification of the energy mix of El Salvador
with an improved performance and reduced environmental impact. The
lead project partner is Invenergy, a US-based leading global
developer and operator of sustainable energy solutions, as well as
several local investors.
(1) For Boskalis, “sizable” refers to a contract with a value of
EUR 50 – EUR 150 million.
