ALTERNATIVE FUELS

Structured LNG Import Infrastructure

IFOC develops and structures Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) import infrastructure solutions with a primary focus on Floating Storage and Regasification Units (FSRU) in regulated and technically complex environments.

We provide integrated structuring, marine coordination and governance frameworks designed to ensure technical reliability, financial security and regulatory alignment across the full project lifecycle.

Project Structuring & Feasibility
Technical Feasibility Assessment
  • Regasification capacity modeling and send-out optimization
  • Marine compatibility and port interface studies
  • Mooring configuration evaluation (spread mooring, restricted catenary or jetty-based integration)
  • Metocean and navigational constraint assessment
  • Grid pressure compatibility and downstream integration review

Our feasibility approach prioritizes long-term operational resilience and infrastructure scalability.

Commercial & Contractual Frameworks
  • Time charter and bareboat charter structures, including LNG Carriers, FSU/FSRU, petrochemicals, and FSU/FSRU deployment models.
  • Performance obligation and risk allocation matrices
  • CAPEX and OPEX financial modeling
  • Long-term infrastructure and availability frameworks
  • Interface alignment with transmission system operators

Each project is structured to meet institutional counterparty requirements and bankability standards.

Financial Security & Risk Allocation
  • Performance security structures
  • Payment security frameworks
  • Standby letter of credit coordination
  • Counterparty credit risk mitigation
  • Contractual risk distribution strategies

Financial robustness is embedded into the project structure from inception.

Marine & Technical Deployment
FSRU Technical Integration
  • Vessel technical suitability review
  • Regasification module configuration analysis
  • Boil-off gas management integration
  • Operational redundancy evaluation
  • Long-term maintenance and availability considerations

Our focus is on ensuring seamless integration between floating infrastructure and onshore energy systems.

Port & Marine Interface Coordination
  • Berthing and mooring engineering coordination
  • Navigational safety and operational risk review
  • Interface with maritime authorities
  • Marine warranty survey alignment
  • Emergency response integration planning

Marine safety and operational integrity remain central throughout deployment.

Regulatory & Institutional Alignment

LNG infrastructure projects require structured institutional engagement. IFOC supports alignment with:

  • Maritime authorities
  • Environmental regulators
  • Energy sector authorities
  • Port administrations
  • Customs and trade agencies

Our methodology ensures regulatory readiness, permit coordination and transparent stakeholder integration.

Risk Management Framework

Each LNG/FSRU project is structured under a defined risk management model addressing:

  • Technical performance risk
  • Marine operational risk
  • Regulatory risk
  • Financial counterparty risk
  • Force majeure and geopolitical exposure
  • Interface risk between floating and onshore infrastructure

Risk mitigation strategies are embedded into contractual structures and operational governance frameworks.

Operational Transition & Governance
  • Defined handover protocols
  • Operational readiness validation
  • Performance monitoring frameworks
  • Contractual compliance oversight
  • Multi-party coordination mechanisms

Our objective is sustainable, long-term infrastructure performance aligned with national energy security priorities.

Strategic Commitment

IFOC delivers structured, compliant and technically integrated LNG infrastructure solutions designed for regulated markets and institutional counterparties. We prioritize governance, technical integrity and financial security across every stage of project development.
