Italy’s Snam offers 12 Ravenna LNG Jun-Sep regas slots

  • Märkte: Natural gas
  • 27.05.25

Italian gas grid operator Snam is offering 12 regasification slots at its Ravenna floating LNG storage and regasification unit (FSRU) across June-September.

The regasification slots on offer run from 5 June to 30 September (see slots table), the remainder of the Italian gas year.

The first round of slot auctions will occur in the last week of May (see auction table). Should the slots go unawarded, the slots will be re-auctioned in additional rounds. The initial auctions are for restricted slots on a pay as bid basis, with the exception of the first round of September auctions, which are on a non-restricted, pay as bid basis.

Should the slots go unallocated in the initial rounds of auctions, spot auctions will begin 14 days prior to the start of the regasification slot, and first-come-first-served bids will be accepted up to eight days before the vessel's arrival.

Ravenna LNG has 5bn m³/yr of maximum sendout capacity, or a capacity of 3.8mn t/yr of LNG. This implies an average monthly regasification capacity of around 320,000t of LNG.

Italy's three largest import terminals — the 7.5mn t/yr Adriatic LNG, the 3.8mn t/yr Piombino LNG, and same-sized Offshore LNG Toscana — are already completely subscribed for the remainder of the gas year. The country's last remaining import terminal, the 2.5mn t/yr Panigaglia facility, still has regasification slots available for the remaining months of the gas year but can only receive smaller deliveries of around 33,000t from Medmax carriers.
