Shipowner Mitsui OSK Lines and energy company Uniper have put a giant $340m floating storage and regasification unit newbuilding on hold while the German outfit reassess its Wilhelmshaven terminal project for which the vessel was designed.

Sources working on the business said MOL will retain the newbuilding slot for the custom-designed 263,000-cbm FSRU at Daewoo Shipbuiding & Marine Engineering.
