ABB bags deal for Singapore’s first floating LNG terminal
The deal includes the installation of an electrical system on board the FSRU.
ABB is set to supply the electric power and propulsion system for Singapore’s first floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal.
Under the contract awarded by Hanwha Ocean, the deal will include the integration of an electrical system on board the Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU). This will comprise a medium voltage generator, 6.6 kilovolt switchboards for cargo and regasification, and the motor, transformer and drive for propulsion.
The floating terminal will also feature ABB’s remote control and remote diagnostics system, a condition monitoring solution and an enhanced power protection system.
The FSRU has a capacity of 200,000 cubic meters for LNG. It will be delivered to owner Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) in 2027 and contracted for long-term charter by Singapore LNG Corporation Pte Ltd (Singapore LNG).
This will be moored at Jurong Port and connected to the gas network in 2030, under the management of MOL.
“The new FSRU is a strategic investment in Singapore’s energy infrastructure and a key part of the city-state’s energy transition toward net-zero emissions,” ABB said.
“Singapore LNG has signed contracts to process five million tons of LNG per annum at a floating facility, adding flexibility and increasing Singapore’s LNG importing capacity by 50% compared to the current single landside terminal in Jurong,” it added.
