Keppel O&M to deliver world's first converted FLNGV

Singapore

SINGAPORE'S leading yard group Keppel Offshore & Marine (O&M) is on track to deliver the world's first converted floating liquefaction vessel (FLNGV) to Golar Hilli Corporation, a subsidiary of Golar LNG.

The vessel, named Hilli Episeyo at a ceremony on Sunday, is scheduled to be delivered to Golar Hilli Corp in August. Keppel Shipyard was awarded the US$735 million contract to convert a liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier into the FLNGV for Golar Hilli Corp in 2014.
