On 27 December 2018, Exmar announced that its floating LNG (FLNG) liquefaction unit, to be renamed Tango FLNG, had left China, just one month after contract signing.
The voyage to Bahia Blanca, Argentina, was expected to take approximately 45 days.
Upon its arrival, Tango FLNG will be put in operation for Exmar’s customer YPF S.A. and is expected to start up LNG production in the 2Q19. Tango FLNG is designed for a liquefaction capacity of approximately 0.5 million tpy of LNG and is expected to play a central role in YPF’s efforts to export the Vaca Muerta gas reserves to international markets.
