Wison gets BV approval-in-principle for floating LNG power supply barge

Wison said the 50 megawatt W-FSRP integrates functions of LNG loading and storage facilities, regasification and power generation.

“With the interest in small scale LNG-to-power growing, we are developing the building blocks for a lean and integrated supply chain. Combining LNG storage, regasification and power generation on a single facility significantly reduces the cost of infrastructure and makes small scale gas-to-power solutions more attractive,” said Maarten Spilker, senior solutions director of Wison.

The W-FSRP is designed to supply electrical power using LNG as primary fuel and marine diesel oil and heavy fuel oil as backup. The FSRP will be of shallow draft barge type moored at a jetty, inter coastal or alongside river bank where the environmental condition is benign.

With the latest W-FSRP, Wison has built on its expertise in floating LNG facilities to provide the LNG industry with innovation solutions, ranging from floating liquefaction unit, shallow water LNG carriers and LNG-Distributor (LNGD), and bunkering vessel.
