On the other hand, Keppel Shipyard will be handling the conversion of an LNG Carrier to a floating storage and re-gasification unit (FSRU) in Singapore on behalf of an undisclosed oil and gas production vessels operator.

As well as floating infrastructure contracts, the company will also oversee shipyard engineering, installation and integration of the regasification module, as well as cargo handling system upgrades.

Keppel Shipyard will deliver the FSRU project by the end of this year. The project will be capable of re-gasifying up to 750 million metric standard cubic feet of natural gas per day.

Keppel O&M CEO Chris Ong said: “Keppel O&M has a strong track record in production, storage, gasification or liquefaction vessels, having successfully delivered more than 130 of such units over the years.

“FPSO Carioca MV30 is our 11th FPSO project for Brazil, and as the most-established shipyard in Brazil, BrasFELS is well-positioned to deliver it to Keppel O&M’s hallmark of executional excellence.

“Meanwhile, for Keppel Shipyard, this is our fourth FSRU conversion contract and is part of our comprehensive suite of solutions for the gas value chain.”
