ABS Approves Hanwha Ocean’s Standardized FLNG Design

ABS has issued approval in principle (AIP) to Hanwha Ocean for a standardized floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) design.

By adopting a platform-based FLNG design that can be applied across multiple projects, Hanwha Ocean aims to shorten initial engineering and improve predictability in project execution. The standardized approach is expected to improve overall project efficiency by reducing engineering lead times and streamlining execution processes. ABS completed design reviews based on applicable class requirements and industry standards.

“Standardized designs have the potential to improve consistency and predictability in the development of complex FLNG projects. We are proud to support Hanwha Ocean as it advances a platform-based approach to help streamline engineering and project execution,” said Matt Tremblay, ABS Senior Vice President, Global Markets.
