Moving in wide steady strides towards the Ready For Start Up (RFSU) phase, Yemen LNG successfully completed the Hydro-testing of Tank 1 on February 8th 2009, 10 weeks after Tank 2 was successfully hydro-tested.


The hydro-test consisted in filling the tank with seawater to a height of only 21m to compensate the higher density of water versus the LNG and then emptying it after ensuring all systems are in good shape and working properly.


All phases of filling and discharge of sea water have been performed with the best environmental practices.
