Hamworthy has won an order for an unmanned land-based LNG processing plant at Kollsnes in the western coastal area of Norway. The contract, worth in excess of £25mn, was awarded by Gasnor. The plant at Kollsnes will use the same technology as employed on LNG carriers for which Hamworthy has already won orders, but will be approximately twice the capacity - producing up to 84,000 t/y of LNG. However, the plant, which will be delivered in February 2007, will be small-scale compared to other land-based distribution plants that liquefy natural gas directly from gas fields. The plant will receive natural gas from the neighbouring Statoil North Sea gas receiving terminal. Once the gas has been liquefied, it will be distributed as LNG by road and via small coastal LNG carriers for industrial customers based in Norway. In addition, the liquefied LNG will provide fuel for five new Norwegian gas engine ferries. Hamworthy supplied its first fully functioning land-based liquefaction system in 2003 for Gasnor at Snurrevarden, Norway. This unmanned plant was Northern Europe's first free-standing mini-LNG production facility and is able to process up to 21,000 t/y of LNG.
