Industry sources say Golar is chasing up to two FSRUs at Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) where the company has built its three most recent units.

Company chief executive Gary Smith sidestepped questions on the upcoming orders but indicated the company may make statements shortly.

Golar looks likely to be fresh out of LNG tonnage if employment for its currently under-construction, 170,000-cbm Golar Tundra is taken up as planned.
