LNG shipping players said Skar, who is credited as being instrumental in Golar’s floating storage and regasification unit business, has already stepped down.

Naval architect Skar joined Golar from what was then Bergesen in 2004 as vice president of project management in Oslo, and moved on to his most recent position in 2009.
