One of Golar LNG Partners' two floating storage and regasification units is expected to head to the Caribbean under a recently announced contract.

Project sources say Miami-based New Fortress Energy has the option to take either the 125,000-cbm Golar Freeze (built 1977) or 129,000-cbm Golar Spirit (built 1981) for its second requirement in Jamaica.

They indicate the charter rate for the work will be variable, coming in at between $64,000 and $75,000 per day, depending on the throughput of the unit eventually selected.
