Italy’s OLT Offshore LNG Toscana (OLT) wants to see its floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) used by larger LNG carriers while also providing peak shaving and break bulk services.

OLT managing director Peter Carolan, speaking to TradeWinds in Livorno, Italy, where the organisation was hosting a meeting of the Society of International Gas Tanker & Terminal Operators (Sigtto), said the company will apply for permission next month to allow the FSRU Toscana to be able to accept LNG carriers of up to 180,000 cbm.
