SHANGHAI, China — Wison Offshore & Marine announced that the company has completed final delivery of the world’s first barge-based floating LNG storage and re-gasification unit (FSRU) to Belgian company Exmar, who has also confirmed that long-term employment for the FSRU starting from mid-2018 has been secured.

The FSRU barge constructed at Wison Nantong shipyard features an LNG storage capacity of 25,000 m³ and a re-gasification capacity of 600MMSCFD. 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, modularized 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.
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.
