Excelerate Energy Bangladesh Limited has completed the commissioning of its Moheshkhali floating LNG terminal (MLNG) – Bangladesh’s first LNG import facility – signifying the official commencement of operations for the project.

This milestone was achieved approximately 25 months after the execution of project agreements, which took place in July 2016, with the state-owned Bangladesh Oil, Gas & Mineral Corporation (Petrobangla) and 13 months following the receipt of all permits required to achieve financial close in August 2017 with its lenders, led by the International Finance Corporation (IFC).
