ABS has granted approval in principle (AIP) to Hanwha Ocean for a standardized floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) design. This move by ABS aims to facilitate a platform-based FLNG design that can be applied to multiple projects, ultimately reducing initial engineering efforts and enhancing project execution predictability. The standardized approach is anticipated to enhance overall project efficiency by shortening engineering lead times and simplifying execution processes.
ABS conducted thorough design reviews, adhering to relevant class requirements and industry standards. Speaking on the matter, Matt Tremblay, ABS Senior Vice President for Global Markets, expressed pride in supporting Hanwha Ocean as it advances a platform-based strategy to streamline engineering and project execution. ABS has previously completed basic design reviews for Hanwha Ocean's standardized floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) design, which was developed for the South American and West African deepwater markets.
Additionally, ABS carried out related sustainability assessments for the same design. ABS supports FLNG projects throughout the entire asset life cycle, from initial concept development to design review, construction, and operation.
