Exmar takes delivery of world's first barge-based FSRU from Wison
Wison Offshore & Marine has delivered the world's first barge-based FSRU to Exmar.

The 25,000 cu m FSRU barge built at Wison Nantong shipyard has a re-gasification capacity of 600MMSCFD.

The barge-based FSRU serves as a flexible solution designed to reduce both capex and lead time for projects and Exmar has secured a charter for the unit from mid-2018.

Huaqing Wei, Project Director for the FSRU Project and Deputy General Manager of Wison (Nantong) Heavy Industry commented; “We are glad to continue working with Exmar on the first-of-its-kind floating LNG projects and feel grateful for concerted efforts by all partners who made it happen.”
