EMTUNGA Completes Loadout of Living Quarters Module for FLNG Hilli Episeyo

EMTUNGA, a leading global supplier of modular solutions for complex offshore and onshore industries, has completed the successful loadout of a Living Quarters module for the FLNG vessel Hilli Episeyo. The module, designed and built by EMTUNGA in Sweden, was loaded onto the heavy-lift vessel AAL Limassol at Port of Halland in Varberg on November 2, 2023. This marks a significant milestone in the project, as Hilli Episeyo, the world's first floating LNG vessel converted from an existing LNG carrier, has been in operation since 2018.

Floating LNG vessels operate far from shore for long periods, often in demanding conditions, making the accommodation on board crucial for the safety and comfort of the crew. The Living Quarters module, weighing in at a precise final weight and center of gravity, was carefully managed to ensure a safe lift and sea transport. EMTUNGA collaborated closely with various partners, including Bertling for logistics, Jinert for weighing and loadout, and the crew of AAL Limassol for the efficient loading operation.

The module will now be transported to Singapore for installation on Hilli Episeyo. EMTUNGA has a long track record of delivering living quarters and technical modules to energy projects worldwide, with this project adding to its extensive portfolio.

EMTUNGA’s commitment to quality and safety is evident in the project’s execution. Engineering, procurement, and fabrication were run in parallel to ensure that the module met the demanding requirements of offshore operations. The Living Quarters module is designed to provide a safe and comfortable place for the crew to live, work, and rest, with fire safety, robust construction, and a good working environment at the forefront of the project’s design.

The release also highlights EMTUNGA’s long-standing expertise in the offshore energy industry, with a history of delivering modules to projects around the world. As the industry continues to evolve, EMTUNGA remains at the forefront, providing innovative solutions to meet the needs of the sector.

In related news, the LNG bunkering market is expected to grow significantly, with the Global LNG Bunkering Market forecasted to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 66.4% during the period from 2024 to 2031. This growth is driven by the increasing demand for cleaner fuels and strict emission regulations. Key players in the market include companies such as Tre, ENGIE, Polskie LNG, Eagle LNG, and ENN Energy, among others.

These developments underscore the importance of EMTUNGA’s work in the energy sector, as the company continues to deliver high-quality solutions that support the safe and efficient operation of floating LNG vessels. With the successful loadout of the Living Quarters module for Hilli Episeyo, EMTUNGA reaffirms its position as a trusted partner in the offshore energy industry.
