Bahrain's first liquefied natural gas (LNG) floating unit arrived in the Gulf this week as the country gets ready for its maiden imports of the super-chilled fuel this year, data from Refinitiv Eikon showed. "Bahrain Spirit", a floating storage unit (FSU) with a capacity of about 173,000 cubic metres, is currently anchored in Fujairah after docking in the United Arab Emirates region on Jan. 13, the data showed. The FSU is on a 20-year charter to Bahrain LNG, who is the developer of a wider receiving and regasification terminal within the Khalifa bin Salman Port facility, in Hidd, Bahrain, according to Bahrain LNG's website.
