A new design for a 268-metre floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility from Wison New Energies received approval in principle (AIP) from ABS.
The unit is designed to perform offshore and at-shore with an expected production capacity of 1.2 million tonnes per annum (mtpa). ABS completed design reviews based on class and statutory requirements.
Standardised design and scalability
“ABS offers world-class engineering services and is proud to be able to support innovative designs from pioneering clients like Wison,” said Miguel Hernandez, ABS Senior Vice President of Global Offshore.
"LNG continues to be an important option in the alternative fuel mix, and this unit with its standardised design and scalability has the potential to support LNG production quickly and efficiently."
Optimising FLNG design
Wison General Manager, FLNG Product Centre, Hao Jiang, said, “Thanks for ABS's support. Wison is continuously optimising the performance of our FLNG product design, significantly improving production efficiency while effectively reducing carbon emissions during the production process."
"In the field of FLNG, Wison has been accumulating technical experience and integrating internal and external resources, dedicated to providing global clients with reliable, low-cost, and short delivery time FLNG solutions. In the future, we look forward to forming strong partnerships with industry stakeholders to create more value for the global energy industry through continuous innovation.”
