Gas Strategies is acting as VRA s commercial and project management advisor and is supporting its senior management team to shape and deliver the project. Considerations have included the use of an FSRU as a temporary or permanent solution; the commercial interaction between LNG imports and existing pipeline gas imports, indigenous gas production and hydro power; project structuring and financing; stakeholder alignment and facility siting.
