Golar LNG commits to ‘largest’ FLNG vessel in Argentina
Maritime LNG infrastructure company Golar LNG has reached final investment decision on the 20-year redeployment charter of the floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) platform Hilli Episeyo, in Argentina.
The vessel, which will have a nameplate capacity of 2.45 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of LNG, will be chartered offshore to Southern Energy (SESA) – a company formed to enable LNG exports from Argentina – with the contract startup expected in 2027.
