ABB has secured a contract from Hanwha Ocean to deliver a complete electric power and propulsion system for Singapore’s first floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal, reads an official release.
Collaboration between ABB and Hanwha Ocean
The Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU), to be delivered to Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) in 2027, will be chartered long term by Singapore LNG Corporation Pte Ltd (Singapore LNG).
The unit will have a capacity of 200,000 cubic meters of LNG, and is scheduled to be moored at Jurong Port and connected to Singapore’s gas network in 2030.
ABB’s integrated system will include a medium voltage generator, 6.6kV switchboards for cargo and regasification, propulsion equipment, remote control and diagnostics, condition monitoring, and an enhanced power protection system.
Singapore LNG has signed contracts to process five million tons of LNG annually at the floating facility. This represents a 50 percent increase in the country’s LNG importing capacity compared to the current single landside terminal in Jurong.
According to Wood Mackenzie, Asia Pacific accounted for two-thirds of global LNG demand in 2024, with strong activity expected to continue. Hanwha Ocean has delivered 23.4 percent of the global gas fleet and recently completed its 200th LNG carrier.
