First Offshore LNG Regasification Terminal conversion project
The "Golar Frost" will be converted to FSRU "Livorno"
The conversion of the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) carrier, “Golar Frost” into an FSRU, is being handled by the Main Contractor, Saipem, a leading international turnkey contractor in the oil and gas industry and will be delivered to OLT Offshore LNG Toscana, a company operating in the Italian gas industry.
FSRUs are floating terminals where LNG is stored before being re-gasified on board. “Golar Frost” will be converted into a floating LNG receiving terminal of FSRU type to be permanently moored offshore Livorno, Italy, approximately 12 miles from the coast in a water depth of about 120 metres and connected to shore through a gas export pipeline. It will have a storage capacity of 137,000 cubic meters of LNG and a production capacity of 3.75 billion standard cubic meters per annum (bscmpa).
