HHI was nominated as the hull fabrication contractor for EPC of the two 'At-Shore LNG' hulls earlier this year; the construction is the two hulls alone expected to cost a total of about $500mn.
Each hull will accommodate liquefaction facilities of up to 6mn metric tons/yr and have 280,000 m3 of integrated LNG storage. That would represent an initial 12mn mt/yr liquefaction capacity by 2024. The site, on the west coast of Vancouver Island in Canada, is licensed to eventually have double that capacity.
The three shortlisted EPC contractors for Feed for the LNG topsides and other work are: Black & Veatch/Samsung Heavy Industries/PCL Industrial Management Inc; CB&I/Offshore Oil Engineering (Cooec); and TechnipFMC. Steelhead said that all Feed work - for both the hulls and the topside/other work - is expected to commence in early 2019.
