Chinese shipyard CIMC Raffles has reached a key milestone in the $2.2 billion Fuji LNG project, officially beginning construction of the topsides modules for the floating LNG production unit. The project marks the third FLNG vessel under Golar LNG’s MK II conversion program, based on a Moss-type LNG carrier.
This significant progress follows the arrival of the Fuji LNG vessel at CIMC Raffles two months ago after its final voyage and cargo discharge. The MK II design incorporates enhancements over Golar’s earlier FLNG units, aimed at improved efficiency and capacity.
