The 255 meter long ‘Xin Guang Hua’ has delivered a key industrial module for the LNG Construction Center in Belokamenka. Chinese construction yards continue cooperation with Russia in the Arctic, as per a media report.
The LNG Construction Center in Belokamenka is key component in the Arctic LNG 2 project. It will be the world’s first facility for ‘mass production’ of natural gas liquefaction trains on gravity-based structures. Three gravity-based structures are under construction on site. The first is 95 percent ready.
About 200 of the structure’s 500 subsystems are reportedly ready for testing and the testing phase will continue until April 2023. After that, the structure will be towed out of the Kola Bay and towards the Ob Bay and site for the Arctic LNG 2 project.
