Seeing Golar LNG’s first floating LNG unit Hilli Episeyo emerge from Keppel Shipyard in Singapore was “fantastic”, new company chief executive Iain Ross says.

He adds that it would be “really exciting” to do another FLNG production vessel and it looks like he is going to get his chance. But he says 2018 is all about delivery.

Under the company’s upstream asset grouping OneLNG, the Hilli Episeyo is currently commissioning and is on track to start producing LNG off Cameroon at the end of this quarter.
