In 2006, Höegh LNG decided to investigate the opportunity to enter into the FLNG market segment and has since developed a mature technical solution for an FLNG for rich gas in cooperation with large, experienced LNG/offshore contractors as well as shipbuilders. Höegh LNG has invested 300 000 engineering man-hours in the development of the FLNG design covering a large range of operating conditions, water depths, significant wave heights and gas compositions. As sound technical approach and identification of risks with inherent risk management has been the prime focus throughout the development. An engineering basis identifying interfaces, technical, operational, construction and schedule risks ensure a successful project execution.
