Rolls-Royce has been awarded a
contract to deliver two all-gas engines for power generation on-board a floating
liquefaction vessel (FLNGV) of Golar LNG.
The vessel, called Hilli, was a
former LNG carrier and is currently being converted into an FLNGV carrier by
Keppel Shipyard.
Under the contract, Rolls-Royce
will deliver its Bergen B35:40V20AG, a compact and powerful gas engine, which
offers low emissions of nitrogen oxide (NOx), carbon dioxide (CO2), sulphur
oxide (SOx) and particulates.

Pacific senior vice-president Richard Bowcutt said: "We are excited to
collaborate with Keppel Shipyard on this ground-breaking conversion of Golar's
LNG carrier into an FLNGV through the supply of our Bergen gas engines.
"The contract awarded by Keppel is
recognition of the cost-efficiency of our engines and demonstrates the faith
that the market has in our innovative single-fuel LNG solutions."
"We are excited to collaborate with
Keppel Shipyard on this ground-breaking conversion of Golar's LNG carrier into
an FLNGV."
Rolls-Royce's solution will also
offer lower energy consumption and deliver a more efficient all-gas solution
than dual-fuel options.
The power generated by these
engines will be primarily used for liquefaction processes and supporting vessel
operation, as well as the energy needs of the crew onboard.
Delivery of the Rolls-Royce engines
is scheduled for next year and the conversion of Hilli is due to be completed in
the first quarter of 2017.
In
addition, the current contract also includes an option for two additional
engines for a second Golar LNG carrier, the Gimi, to be converted.
In
January this year, Keppel Offshore & Marine's (O&M) subsidiary Keppel
Shipyard finalised a deal with Golar Gimi to convert Gimi into an FLNGV.
