Gabon FLNG project plans to deploy FSU and multi-purpose vessel conversion

A planned floating LNG (FLNG) production unit being developed by Perenco for Gabon in Central Africa would use a converted multipurpose vessel and an LNG carrier to provide storage.

Those following the Gabon LNG project told TradeWinds that independent hydrocarbons producer Perenco plans to use an existing multipurpose vessel and install liquefaction modules on top of this to create a 700,000-tonne-per-annum (tpa) FLNG unit.
