COGAZ intends to station a floating storage regasification unit in the harbour at Cotonou, together with the necessary mooring and infrastructure to enable the delivery and supply of liquefied natural gas to customers in Benin and Togo, including CEB. The necessary financing arrangements for the project will be put in place by Gasol in due course.
