To deliver services to this first FSRU project for Hong Kong, MOL will deploy the MOL FSRU Challenger, which has a storage capacity of 263,000m³.

MOL said that the FSRU was built at Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering in South Korea in 2017. At present, it has been deployed on a mid-term charter for a project in Turkey.

The Hong Kong Offshore LNG Terminal will be situated to the south of Hong Kong and to the east of the Soko Islands.
