Arup Gets Indonesian LNG Terminal Contract

UK-based engineering and consulting firm Arup has been commissioned by Australasia LNG to support the development of a new 2.4mn mt/yr LNG terminal in East Java, Indonesia. 

Arup will deliver pre-front end engineering design (FEED) for the marine infrastructure and vessel conversion for the Probolinggo LNG terminal, the company said December 1. Providing geotechnical, civil, naval architecture, and mechanical engineering support, Arup will advise on the conversion of a LNG carrier into a floating storage unit which will be permanently moored offshore for the design life, without the need of dry-docking. Arup is also advising on the 2.5 km jetty, unloading platform and associated berthing infrastructure, required to bring the LNG onshore to be regasified.

The project is expected to shortly progress to FEED and final investment decision stages, with potential to carry out tank testing in the next stage of the commission to address LNG sloshing, Arup said.

In October, KBR said it will provide a pre-FEED study for the onshore LNG regasification and truck loading distribution facilities of the proposed LNG terminal.
