The significant announcement – made from its yard in Nantong, China - sees the tank – with storage capacity of 47,000m3 - stand as the largest single product ever designed and built using SPB technology since its debut in the 1980s. This accomplishment also hits a record of the first successful engineering application of the technology in China.
WOM will deliver this “new-born” SPB tank into their large Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (“FLNG”) facility under construction
Based on its diversified and localized product supporting ecological chain, WOM has conquered the technology & know-how for mass production of Al-alloy structures consisting of medium-thick plates and components. In the meantime, by leveraging various automatic welding techniques, the construction period of the first tank has been compressed by over 50% than that of its foreign peers, with its cost optimized to a level equivalent to that of its major competitors.
