ABB will design, manufacture and deliver transformers, switchboards, motor-control centres and power management systems to support the optimisation of the facility’s electrical side.
The PFLNG2 will be constructed at Samsung Heavy Industries’ yard in Geoje this year.
The facility will be moored over the deepwater Rotan gas field, situated off the Malaysian coast, when operations begin in 2018.
The facility is designed to produce 1.5 million tonnes of LNG per year for around 20 years before it will need to dry dock.
