World’s first LNG floating storage and re-gasification conversion to DNV Class
For the first time in history, a liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier is to be converted into an LNG storage and re-gasification unit (FSRU). The conversion project will be carried out to DNV class rules for offshore gas terminals and international standards.
The shipowner, Golar LNG, will work in partnership with Keppel Shipyard, a subsidiary of Keppel Offshore & Marine Ltd, in the engineering, procurement, and construction for the project. The scope of work includes the installation of a new forward turret, side-by-side mooring system, LNG loading arms, aft thruster with compartment and a re-gasification plant, and the replacement of cargo pumps. The conversion will be finished in the second quarter of 2007, with a total contract value of approximately USD 55 million.
