Greece’s gas grid operator has asked for offers on three different LNG vessels as it pursues a project to install a floating storage and regasification unit to supply the island of Crete.

The Hellenic Gas Transmission System Operator, known as DESFA, has floated requests for information (RFIs) to either charter or purchase an FSRU with a minimum storage capacity of 125,000 cbm, which would be moored near-shore to Atherinolakkos in southern Crete.
