A planned floating storage unit (FSU) to be stationed at Kamchatka in the Russian Arctic will require one of the largest LNG ships ever to be built.

Shipyards have already been sounded out about the giant LNG storage vessel, which is expected to be at least 350,000 cbm in size, technical specialists following the project said.

They explained that the unit needs to be able to handle cargoes from two fully laden Arc7 LNG carriers.
