Ukwanda LNG is focused on the design, construction, operation and maintenance of a phased LNG import terminal within the Port of Ngqura. Our model ensures flexible access for a range of LNG customers, without directly trading in gas.
Phase 1
Mitigation Solution
Temporary deployment of a Floating Storage Unit (FSU) and Floating Regasification Unit (FRU) in the Port
Phase 2
FSRU at Jetty
Deployment of a Floating Storage Regasification Unit (FSRU) at a new jetty to be constructed within the Port
Phase 3
Onshore Facility
Development of a modular Onshore Facility with permanent LNG storage and regasification infrastructure
How It Works
Ukwanda LNG will operate an open access ’tolling facility’, and not as a gas trader.
This means:
- We do not buy or sell gas
- Gas traders and aggregators enter into Terminal Use Agreements (TUAs) with us for the handling, storage, regasification, and dispatch of LNG or regasified LNG (RLNG)
- These traders and aggregators contract separately with gas users via Gas Sale Agreements
This structure promotes market transparency, supports gas liquidity, and allows independent power producers, industries and transport operators to access LNG reliably and competitively.
Who We Serve
Our terminal is designed to support a broad spectrum of gas users:
