Engineering and certification specialist RINA has joined forces with Greek engineering consultancy Asprofos to provide project management consultancy (PMC) services for the Alexandroupolis Independent Natural Gas System (INGS), which will consist of a permanently moored floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) and pipeline system.
