[ THE METHOD ]

Five phases. One Captain.

Most LNG import projects are decided by people who have never operated these systems. Rawbai runs a five-phase method that puts the operator's questions first, from the site visit to the first cargo. The same Captain all the way, with a team of experts around him to raise the level of response.

Assess · Contract · Prepare · Operate · Optimise
01
Risk assessment and regulatory map

Assess.

Most terminal projects fail before FID because nobody asked the maritime questions first.

  • HAZID studies and HAZOP workshops in the early phases of the project
  • Operational, regulatory and infrastructure risks; STS operations, port-ship interface, systems compatibility and emergency scenarios
  • Integration with the national gas system (SNT), tariff analysis and energy security
  • Site, metocean and berth reality before the business case
  • A go or no-go you can defend to a lender
02
FSRU selection and contract negotiation

Contract.

The charter you sign decides your next fifteen years.

  • Charter, purchase or LNGC-to-FSRU / FSU conversion, benchmarked against the real fleet
  • Comparative analysis, CAPEX / OPEX and the hidden costs outside OPEX
  • Negotiation of FSRU, FSU, O&M and ISO container contracts: USD 5 M a year found in one case
  • Owner's Representative at the shipyard and through commissioning
03
HSEQ, procedures, audits and compliance

Prepare.

Procedures written by people who have run the operation.

  • Operating, emergency and STS manuals; GTCs, in-take procedures and SMS systems
  • TMSA audits for Equinor, Total and ExxonMobil; ISPS / PBIP maritime security
  • Compliance under IGC Code, SIGTTO, OCIMF, ISGOTT, SOLAS, MARPOL, ISM Code, DIMAR, CREG and IMO
  • Emergency and contingency planning with ports, terminals and fire brigades
04
Technical advisory: STS, regasification and ISO

Operate.

Commissioning, first cargo and the calm after.

  • LNG ship-to-ship operations, SSCS compatibility and mooring analysis
  • Regasification, jetties, manifolds, gas trials and commissioning on the owner's side
  • ISO container chain and truck loading for small-scale LNG
  • Operational and technical training for crews and terminal teams
05
Operations and BOG optimisation

Optimise.

The terminal that stops improving starts costing.

  • Boil-off gas management and recondenser use
  • Send-out optimisation, pump and vaporiser efficiency
  • Reporting systems, cost audits and charter reviews

FEATURED CASE · COLOMBIA · JANUARY 2026

FSRU contract negotiation for a national gas transporter

Our principal expert took part directly in the negotiations between a major Colombian gas transporter and an international FSRU operator. Four separate contracts, one operator's eye on every clause.

  • Hidden costs sitting outside OPEX identified and removed
  • Patrol vessel and ISPS security surcharges struck out as unjustified
  • Recondenser usage optimised, cutting cargo loss for the gas buyers
  • Fuel and BOG control tables written into the contractual annexes
Great work and cooperation. It is very gratifying to see this effort in identifying hidden costs that will result in significant savings for this project. Your participation will be fundamental. Senior Project Manager, national gas transporter, Colombia
