BENEFITS OF DOCUMENT
DESCRIPTION
Floating Storage and Regasification Units (FSRUs) are multi-function vessels, which combine LNG storage and built-in regasification systems onboard a ship or barge. FSRUs can receive LNG directly from conventional and large LNG ships, storing it in insulated tanks and can regasify, or convert the LNG back into natural gas when needed. Compared to Land-based import and regasification terminals, which are, in most cases, good, long-term solutions to meet large base demands for energy, an FSRU can offer a lower-cost, faster, more flexible option. They are capable of bringing the benefits of LNG and natural gas quickly to where they are needed most.
This Financial model presents a dynamic (up to 20 years) forecast and profitability analysis of an FSRU operating scenario. The main purpose of the model is to enable users to get a solid understanding of the financial feasibility of the project and to evaluate the return to investors.
The model allows users to choose one of the below FSRU development models:
FSRU New Build: This business model refers to an FSRU being developed from scratch including building of a vessel.
FSRU Converted: This business model refers to an FSRU being built by converting a ship into a regasification unit.
FSRU Leased: This business model refers to an FSRU being leased on an operations and maintenance model.
The model includes asuumptions for development and construction or leasing costs, regasification plant capacity, LNG input and Natural Gas output, revenue, COGS and operating expenses, financing through Debt & Equity and calculates project return metrics (IRR, NPV, MOIC, Payback, etc.)
The structure of the template follows Financial Modeling Best Practices principles and is fully customizable.
