With a total investment of about one billion euros and entry into operation in the first quarter of 2025, Snam announced in Ravenna the progress of work on the second regasifier ship, the BW Singapore, which with the Golar Tundra in Piombino will offer a total additional capacity of 10 billion cubic meters per year. "Together with the other three existing regasifiers," stressed Ceo Stefano Venier, "the two ships will bring LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) supplies to 28 billion, out of about 60-70 billion consumed in Italy". This is a new contribution that makes it possible to diversify sources more and more ("in Piombino we get LNG from the U.S. that we did not import before", pointed out the number one of the group that manages the transportation network), in the face of declining domestic demand. "We dropped from 76 billion cubic meters in 2021, which included 40 percent Russian methane, to a predictable 62/64 billion this year," Venier calculated, "which was affected by a very mild winter 2022-2023". Work began in late June and will continue until the end of the year. For the offshore part, activities will begin in April with the installation of the platform that will be just over eight kilometers from the coast, while in July the subsea laying will begin and in December the ship will arrive. A new 32-kilometer-long, hydrogen-ready pipeline will connect the pipes in the subsea section to the national grid.
