The converted facility is designed to enable offshore gas processing, liquefaction and LNG storage, offering a flexible and cost-effective approach to gas monetization.<\/p><p>The FLNG concept is based on a membrane-type LNG carrier with an effective LNG storage capacity of approximately 170,000 m\u00b3 and a design life of 25 years. The facility is intended to unlock stranded gas resources, aiming at projects with low initial capital costs, a shorter timeline from final investment decision to production, and high efficiency requirements.<\/p><p>Read more in the article of <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/marine-offshore.bureauveritas.com\/newsroom\/exmars-flng-conversion-concept-receives-approval-principle-bureau-veritas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Bureau Veritas<\/b>.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2dbd8bb elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2dbd8bb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/exmar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/EXMAR_BV-FLNG-819x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-11496\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exmar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/EXMAR_BV-FLNG-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/exmar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/EXMAR_BV-FLNG-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/exmar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/EXMAR_BV-FLNG-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/exmar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/EXMAR_BV-FLNG-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/exmar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/EXMAR_BV-FLNG-400x500.jpg 400w, https:\/\/exmar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/EXMAR_BV-FLNG.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-388dd10 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"388dd10\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b87614 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"6b87614\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d1fb739 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d1fb739\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"414\" src=\"https:\/\/exmar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Exmar_FLNG_07-1024x530.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-11490\" alt=\"EXMAR FLNG\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exmar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Exmar_FLNG_07-1024x530.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/exmar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Exmar_FLNG_07-300x155.jpg 300w, https:\/\/exmar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Exmar_FLNG_07-768x398.jpg 768w, https:\/\/exmar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Exmar_FLNG_07-1536x795.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/exmar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Exmar_FLNG_07.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have been awarded Approval in Principle (AiP) for our Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) concept based on the conversion of an existing membrane-type LNG carrier by Bureau Veritas Marine &#038;
