US-based Excelerate Energy has ordered its floating storage and regasification unit for the Petrobras contract it has bagged from Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) at a cost of $280m.
DSME announced that the 170,000-cbm FSRU is due for delivery in 2014.
TradeWinds reported last week that Petrobras is poised to name Excelerate as the winner of the job, dubbed VT3 by the state energy company, to provide an FSRU for its planned third floating LNG import terminal.
