Excelerate's Bangladesh FSRU Partially Shuts, Cutting 450 mmcfd Gas Supply
EE sits 86% above its 52-week low of $21.285.
Summary
A technical fault during a ship-to-ship LNG transfer has partially shut Excelerate's floating regasification unit off Moheshkhali, Bangladesh, removing about 450 mmcfd of gas from the national grid. State-owned Petrobangla warns repairs could take up to two days, worsening shortages in a market already facing a 1,400 mmcfd supply deficit. The disruption hits a key asset that underpins Bangladesh's imported gas supply, with the terminal being one of only two floating LNG facilities in the country. This follows strong Q1 results reported in May, but adds operational risk to Excelerate's international portfolio. The outage comes amid tightened global LNG markets due to the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, which has disrupted Qatari exports and pushed up Asian spot prices.
