After reviewing the bids, the committee determined that the bid from Golar Power Limited was fully in line with the requirements of the tender documentation and according to the criterion of choosing the most economically advantageous bid, the bid was ranked with highest score.
Golar offered a new conversion of the current LNG carrier to an FSRU which value is EUR 159,6 million. It is an LNG carrier, which was built in 2005 and which sails under the name ‘Golar Viking’.
The vessel will be delivered to the LNG terminal location from the shipyard as a new FSRU conversion, according with the highest technical and environmental protection standards.
Depending on the outcome of the Open Season procedure, which will last until 20th December 2018, and the adoption of a positive investment decision, delivery window for the FSRU will be in the period from 30th September 2020 to 30th October 2020, so as the LNG terminal to be fully operational by 1st January 2021.
The FSRU vessel has LNG storage capacity of 140,000 m3, with an LNG regasification capacity of 300,000 m3 of natural gas per hour, giving a capacity of 2.6 billion m3 of gas per year.
Technical solution for LNG regasification will also work in the open loop system in such a way that during the intake and discharge of sea water the FSRU will not use electro-chlorination for preventing marine growth in the system.
After the deadline for objection on the decision on selection of the most economically advantageous bid which is on 15th November 2018, the signing of the FSRU delivery contract and Operation and Maintenance contract will take place.
