The Texas-based floating liquefied natural gas specialist hosted a naming ceremony for the FSRU unit on 20 March at Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine in South Korea.

The Experience has the ability to store up to 173,400 cubic meters of natural gas with sendout capacity of 1 billion cubic feet per day.

Under a 15-year charter agreement, Petrobras will use the FSRU, which can also operate as an LNG carrier, at the existing import facility in Guanabara.
