Project Overview
Helios Investment Partners established Tema LNG Terminal Company (TLTC) to develop, construct and operate sub-Saharan Africa's first LNG import terminal. The Euphoria Consult served as In-House Project Management Consultants for this groundbreaking USD 400 million project. TLTC employs an innovative combination of a purpose-built Floating Regasification Unit twinned with an existing LNG carrier to receive, store and regasify LNG. This system provides Ghana with all the functionality of a large-scale FSRU-based terminal with added flexibility of operations yet at a significantly reduced cost. Operations commenced in mid-2020, at which time gas began being imported into the terminal and piped out to customers in Ghana.
