FSRU Independence, delivered in March 2014 is an LNG carrier designed as a floating LNG storage and regasification unit to be used as an LNG import terminal in Lithuania. The vessel can store 170,000 m3 (6,000,000 cu ft) natural gas and can supply all of Lithuania's need for natural gas. The vessel will start to operate in the autumn of 2014 and will then make Lithuania independent of natural gas from Russia.
Built by Hyundai in South Korea, it arrived at Klaipeda on 27 October 2014, after a five-month cruise.
