The FSRU barge, constructed at Wison Nantong shipyard, features an LNG storage capacity of 25 000 m3 and a regasification capacity of 600 million ft3/d. It is the first ever FSRU project undertaken by a Chinese company on EPC basis. The project was executed with a quest for efficiency and openness to innovation. For instance, modularised approach shortened the schedule and lowered the risks associated in construction phase, while a dedicated cargo handling system for the SPB tanks has been developed.
Mr. 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.”
This barge-based FSRU serves as a flexible LNG receiving solution which makes considerable reductions in CapEx and lead time possible for project developers. Wison is making firm progress in cementing its leading position in providing integrated solutions and project delivery services along LNG value chain. Mr Ying Cui, CEO of Wison Offshore & Marine said, “Successful delivery of the project again showcases Wison’s strong capability to deliver cost-effective solutions. We are committed to commercialisation of global LNG industry by delivering higher returns for various types of infrastructure investors, making LNG more affordable.”
