Flex LNG delays floater deliveries

Flex LNG said it had agreed with South Korea’s Samsung Heavy Industries to delay delivery of four floating gas liquefaction units the yard is building for the Norway-listed group.

Flex said it had agreed to push back delivery dates for the floating liquefied natural gas processing units by between six and seven months among other changes to its agreements with SHI.
