Golar LNG has been awarded Chile’s Gas Atacama Mejillones Seaport floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) project.
The initial term of the contract is for 15 or 20 years and is expected to generate an average of about $48million for the 15-year charter or $47million for 20 years.
Gas Atacama has three, five-year contract extension options, representing a potential 15 additional years of commitments.
The new-build FSRU will be capable of storing just over 1.04million barrels of liquefied gas.
