MOL's Investment to Expedite Final Investment Decisions on Delfin's FLNG Vessels

MOL은 델핀의 FLNG 선박에 대한 최종 투자 결정을 가속화하기 위해 투자를 진행

 

Japan's Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (“MOL”) has entered into a strategic investment agreement with Delfin Midstream Inc, a company developing floating LNG solutions for LNG exports from North America to global clients. As part of the agreement, MOL will make an investment in Delfin and a MOL representative will join Delfin’s Board of Directors.

 

일본의 미쓰이 O.S.K. 라인즈(Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, 이하 "MOL")은 북미에서 글로벌 고객들에게 LNG 수출을 위한 부동식 LNG 솔루션을 개발하는 델핀 미드스트림(Delfin Midstream Inc)과 전략적 투자 계약을 체결했습니다.

이 계약의 일환으로, MOL은 델핀에 투자를 진행하며, MOL 대표자가 델핀의 이사회에 참여하게 될 것입니다.

 

Dudley Poston, CEO of Delfin said: “We are excited to enter into this strategic agreement with MOL, representing another industry-leading partnership. Our low-cost, simplified floating liquefaction solution will be significantly enhanced by MOL’s extensive marine expertise, creating a world-class partnership with significant benefits for both Delfin and MOL."

 

델핀의 CEO인 더들리 포스턴(Dudley Poston)은 다음과 같이 말했습니다: "MOL과 이 전략적 계약을 맺게 된 것에 대해 매우 기쁩니다. 이는 또 다른 산업 선도적인 파트너십을 대표하는 것입니다. 우리의 저비용이고 간소화된 부동형 액화 시스템은 MOL의 광범위한 해양 전문 지식으로 크게 향상될 것이며, 델핀과 MOL 양측에 많은 혜택을 가져다주는 세계적 수준의 파트너십이 형성될 것입니다."

 

"Proceeds from MOL’s investment will be used to accelerate making Final Investment Decisions on our first two FLNG vessels this year. MOL has long been a leading LNG infrastructure company while also investing in innovative solutions such as Floating Storage and Regasification Units (“FSRU”).”

 

MOL의 투자로부터 얻은 자금은 올해 우리의 첫 번째와 두 번째 FLNG 선박에 대한 최종 투자 결정을 가속화하는데

사용될 것입니다. MOL은 오랫동안 선도적인 LNG 인프라 기업으로서, 부동식 저장 및 가스화 장치(FSRU)와 같은 

혁신적인 솔루션에도 투자하고 있습니다.

 

The agreement also provides MOL with the opportunity to make additional investments directly in Delfin’s Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (“FLNG”) vessels and establishes a framework for MOL to assist in the construction and operation of these vessels.

 

이 계약은 MOL에게 델핀의 부동형 액화천연가스(FLNG) 선박에 직접 추가 투자를 할 기회를 제공하며, MOL이 이러한 선박의 건설 및 운영에 협력할 수 있는 구조를 마련합니다.

 

“The Delfin team has deep experience successfully converting LNG carriers into both FSRUs and FLNG vessels,” said Wouter Pastoor, COO of Delfin. “Combining that skillset with MOL’s capabilities will drive future expansion and enable Delfin to safely and reliably accelerate clean low-cost LNG exports from North America to customers around the world.”

 

델핀의 COO인 와우터 파스토어(Wouter Pastoor)는 다음과 같이 말했습니다: "델핀 팀은 LNG 운반선을 FSRU와 FLNG 선박으로 성공적으로 전환하는 데 깊은 경험을 갖고 있습니다. 이러한 기술력을 MOL의 역량과 결합함으로써 델핀은 북미에서 전 세계의 고객들에게 안전하고 신뢰성 있는 저비용 LNG 수출을 가속화하는 데 필요한 미래의 확장을 이룰 수 있게 될 것입니다."

 

Takeshi Hashimoto, President and CEO of MOL stated: “We are delighted to announce our partnership with Delfin, marking the beginning of a fruitful endeavor together. Drawing on our extensive expertise gained from previous LNG Carrier and FSRU projects and other ventures, we anticipate collaborating with Delfin to successfully drive forward this project toward our initial shared goal of quickly making Final Investment Decision on the first FLNG vessel.”

 

MOL의 대표이사인 다케시 하시모토(Takeshi Hashimoto)는 다음과 같이 밝혔습니다: "델핀과의 파트너십을 발표함으로써 우리는 공동으로 성과를 거둘 시작을 기쁘게 생각합니다. 이전 LNG 운반선 및 FSRU 프로젝트와 다른 사업에서 얻은 광범위한 전문지식을 바탕으로, 델핀과 협력하여 첫 번째 FLNG 선박에 대한 최종 투자 결정을 신속히 이루는 것을 공동 목표로 성공적으로 이 프로젝트를 추진할 것으로 예상됩니다."

 

 

As part of the agreement, Suryan Wirya-Simunovic will join Delfin’s Board of Directors.

Wirya-Simunovic is MOL’s Executive Officer for Energy Related Business for Europe, Americas and Africa

and has over 30 years of experience in energy and maritime sectors.

이 계약의 일환으로, 슈란 비르야-시무노비치(Suryan Wirya-Simunovic)가 델핀의 이사회에 합류할 것입니다. 

Wirya-Simunovic는 MOL의 유럽, 미국, 아프리카를 담당하는 업무 관련 사업 담당 임원으로, 

30년 이상의 에너지 및 해운 분야 경험을 갖고 있습니다.

Japan’s MOL joins Delfin’s FLNG venture | Upstream Online

Investment comes ahead of final investment decision on first FLNG vessel for proposed US export scheme

 

Japan’s Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL) has the opportunity to enter the floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) industry by taking a stake in US LNG export infrastructure development company Delfin.

 

Delfin Midstream and MOL have entered into a strategic investment agreement — the terms of which were not divulged — that enables Delfin to accelerate clean, low-cost LNG exports from North America to global customers. As part of the agreement, MOL will make an investment in Delfin and a MOL representative will join Delfin’s board.

 

The US company’s proposed Delfin LNG Deepwater Port project in the US Gulf of Mexico envisages ultimately having four FLNG units with combined production of up to 13.3 million tonnes per annum. Delfin has already signed deals for long-term LNG sales with Centrica, Vitol, Hartree Partners Power & Gas Company and others.

 

“Proceeds from MOL’s investment will be used to accelerate making final investment decisions on our first two FLNG vessels this year,” Delfin chief executive Dudley Poston said.

 

“Our low-cost, simplified floating liquefaction solution will be significantly enhanced by MOL’s extensive marine expertise.”

The agreement also allows MOL to make additional investments directly in Delfin’s planned FLNG units and assist in their construction and operation. The Japanese company will then likely take stakes in the FLNG facilities and have access to LNG offtake from them, Upstream’s sister publication TradeWinds reported.

 

Front-end engineering and design work for the Deepwater Port project has been performed with South Korea’s Samsung Heavy Industries and US contractor Black & Veatch.

 

“Drawing on our extensive expertise gained from previous LNG carrier and FSRU [floating storage and regasification unit] projects and other ventures, we anticipate collaborating with Delfin to successfully drive forward this project towards our initial shared goal of quickly making [the] final investment decision on the first FLNG vessel,” MOL chief executive Takeshi Hashimoto said.

 

Delfin earlier said it could take final investment decision on the first floating liquefaction facility

by early June or in early July.

“The Delfin team has deep experience successfully converting LNG carriers into FSRUs and FLNG vessels,”

Delfin chief operating officer Wouter Pastoor said.

 

델핀은 이전에 6월 초나 7월 초에 첫 번째 부동 액화 시설에 대한 최종 투자 결정을 내릴 수 있다고 밝혔습니다.

델핀의 최고 운영 책임자인 와우터 파스토어는 "델핀 팀은 LNG 운반선을 성공적으로 FSRU와 FLNG 선박으로 

전환하는 데 깊은 경험을 갖고 있습니다."라고 말했습니다.
