Hyundai Mipo Dockyard and Korea Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering have received an Approval in Principle from classification society DNV and the Liberian International Ship & Corporate Registry for a 40,000 CBM barge-type LNG Floating Storage Regasification Unit. The AiP is the result of a joint research project by HMD, KSOE, LISCR and DNV to develop a 40K barge-type LNG FSRU. Operated together with a large-size floating storage unit and a shuttle LNG carrier, the newly developed 40,000 CBM unit would be suitable to serve mid-to-small-sized LNG projects as an economical alternative to large-size FSRUs. The barge-type FSRU design features an IMO type-C cargo containment system, while its cargo handling system would enable simultaneous loading and unloading of LNG cargo among FSU and LNG carrier.
