Perenco Converts LNG Carrier into Floating Storage Unit for Gabon Offshore Project
Lloyd's Register (LR) is providing classification and technical assurance for the conversion of an LNG carrier into a floating storage unit (FSU) for Perenco's offshore gas project in Gabon.
The former LNG carrier, now temporarily known as FSU LNG Cap Lopez, is undergoing extensive renovations at Drydocks World Dubai, including steel works, new piping systems, and the installation of a boil-off gas module.
The converted FSU will provide storage for liquefied natural gas (LNG) from near-shore barge operations, reducing routine gas flaring and improving energy efficiency.
LR's involvement in the project includes classification, plan approval, survey, and technical oversight to ensure that all modifications meet stringent safety and regulatory requirements.
