It will be delivered to Golar Hilli Corporation.
Keppel Offshore & Marine (O&M) will deliver the world's first converted floating liquefaction vessel (FLNGV) to Golar Hilli Corporation, a subsidiary of Golar LNG.
According to RHB, the vessel will be named Hilli Episeyo. It is scheduled to be delivered to Golar Hilli Corp in August.
Keppel Shipyard was awarded the US$735m contract to convert a liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier into the FLNGV for Golar Hilli Corp in 2014.
"Hilli Episeyo will be put in operation offshore Kribi, Cameroon, for its end clients, Societe Nationale des Hydrocarbures and Perenco Cameroon SA," RHB said.
