Wärtsilä is to supply the reliquefaction system for a retrofit project on an LNG carrier converted to operate as a floating storage unit (FSU). The vessel, the Energos Grand, is owned by Stamford, Conn., headquartered based operator Energos Infrastructure, and is being chartered by New Fortress Energy.
The Wärtsilä Compact Reliq system allows the boil-off gas (BOG) from the LNG onboard to be reliquefied and returned to the cargo tanks rather than being wasted. The solution contributes to a significant reduction in emissions and creates cost savings, as well as optimizing the LNG cargo level.
The Wärtsilä equipment is scheduled for delivery during the second half of 2024.
