The first Floating LNG liquefaction and storage (FLNG) facility expected to be in operation, Caribbean FLNG, has left Wison Offshore & Marine’s Nantong shipyard in preparation for its voyage to the Caribbean.
Despite the recent fall in the oil price Keppel Corp remains confident about the outlook for its offshore and marine business, and continues to push into new areas such as FLNG conversions.
The LNG shipping panel last week in New York saw Golar LNG, Dynagas, Gaslog and Hoegh LNG outlining their strategies for the “golden age of gas”.
Singapore’s Keppel Shipyard is finalising contracts with Golar Gimi, subsidiary of Golar LNG, to perform the conversion of a second Moss LNG carrier, the Gimi, into a FLNG vessel.
Keppel Offshore & Marine is targeting to make floating LNG (FLNG) a core business after it won a world first conversion from Golar LNG.
