Golar LNG selects ABS Group for floating LNG fleet strategy
ABS Group subsidiary Genesis Technology Solutions has been awarded a contract by Golar LNG to develop an intelligent maintenance strategy for the company’s new fleet of floating LNG (FLNG) vessels utilizing the GoFLNG floating liquefaction technology.
As part of a fleet-wide maintenance strategy to address the safety and reliability of FLNG assets and activities, ABS Group will assist Golar LNG with implementing the Maximo computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) to support its asset management program.
ABS Group will provide a model for asset data, criticality rankings, spare parts analysis, a risk-based inspection strategy, failure mode and effects analysis and a maintenance program for the first GoFLNG facility under construction, the Hilli, which will operate off the coast of Cameroon, as well as for future vessels.
“This is an important project for ABS Group and GenesisSolutions to support our clients in the growing FLNG market,” said ABS Group CEO Todd Grove. “To maximize the value to our client, GenesisSolutions will collaborate closely with our offshore services team throughout development of this maintenance strategy, building on their technical knowledge and experience in providing related robust offshore asset management solutions.”
As a trusted provider of technical solutions to the offshore, marine and natural gas industries, ABS Group offers a unique asset integrity management (AIM) methodology and suite of AIM tools to help clients improve reliability and integrity, achieve high production uptime and reduce OPEX costs.
“The coming years will see Golar LNG play an important role in the gas industry,” said Kenneth Ruyts, lead FLNG maintenance and integrity superintendent for Golar LNG. “We are implementing a new CMMS that will become the backbone of our asset management organization, and we selected ABS Group to support the rollout of this system because of their reliable expertise in various industries, especially working with FPSO vessels, and proven model for risk-based inspection, maintenance and asset management.”
