Keppel Shipyard bags $932.9m ship conversion contract

For a subsidiary of Golar LNG.

Keppel Offshore & Marine today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Keppel Shipyard has signed a contract worth approximately $932.9m (US$684m) with Golar Gandria N.V., a subsidiary of Golar LNG.

Keppel Shipyard will perform the conversion of a Moss type Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) carrier, the GANDRIA, into a Golar Floating Liquefaction (GoFLNG) facility.

The contract marks the exercise of the second of two options, which were part of a contract awarded by Golar to Keppel Shipyard for the conversion of the Moss LNG carrier, HILLI, into a GoFLNG facility.

The first option was exercised in December 2014 for the conversion of the GIMI, also a Moss type LNG carrier.

The contract will become effective upon the parties fulfilling certain conditions precedent by 21 September 2015.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
