BW Gas’ first floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) newbuilding, BW Singapore, started to pump gas ashore in Egypt in the past few days.

New BW Group chief executive Carsten Mortensen, speaking to TradeWinds at Gastech in Singapore, said it marks something of a record from BW taking part in Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Co (EGAS)’s tender process in April-May to the start of operations.
