Turkey launched the world's biggest ship to ship (STS) liquified natural gas (LNG) transfers on January 2 in the mediterranean port of Dortyol, Mehmet Tecimen. In February 2018 Turkey launched this second FSRU with 20 million cubic meters of send-out capacity per day in the Dortyol port. The unit has 263,000 cubic meters of LNG storage capacity, the largest capacity worldwide. Turkey aims to limit dependency on pipeline gas through FSRUs, and therefore, these units dock at ports close to regions with higher gas demand.
