Floating LNG Terminal Finland, a 100 % subsidiary of Gasgrid Finland, as the terminal operator for the FSRU (Floating Storage and Regasification Unit) vessel Exemplar, which is moored in the port of Inkoo in December 2022 has finalized the scheduling for the Q4/2023 and Q1-Q3/2024. The total number of planned slots for the full gas year were reduced from the original amount of 35 to 29 due to previously announced maintenance works limiting the transmission system capacity at the Baltic gas transmission system.
Out of the total amount of 29 slots 12 Spot Slots are free for reservations. All spot slots reserved before the publication of the last monthly update preceding the quarter during which a scheduled slot is allocated will be considered as part of the joint use concept as described in the Terminal Rules (subject to terminal user acceptance).
