Clough to provide hook-up services for Ichthys LNG FPSO

Perth-based LNG engineer, Clough on Thursday said it has won a second hook-up contract for the Inpex-operated Ichthys LNG project in two days.

Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) selected Clough to perform the hook-up services on the Ichthys LNG project floating, production, storage and offloading (FPSO) facility.

The Ichthys FPSO is a 336 metre long, permanently moored and weather-vaning vessel designed to hold more than one million barrels of condensate.

The scope of work includes the preparation and execution of offshore hook-up and assistance to commissioning, Clough said.

Work will commence in the first quarter of 2016 with the mobilisation of engineering and technical teams to the DSME fabrication yard located in Geoje, Korea before moving offshore in the Browse Basin, 200 km off the northern coastline of Western Australia.
