Golar LNG (NASDAQ:GLNG) Ltd. is a leading global owner and operator of liquefied natural gas (LNG) vessels and floating infrastructure. Founded in 1946 and headquartered in Hamilton, Bermuda, the company has grown from a traditional shipping operator into a specialized energy transportation and midstream service provider. Golar LNG’s fleet includes conventional LNG carriers as well as advanced floating solutions such as floating storage and regasification units (FSRUs) and floating liquefaction units (FLNGs).
The company’s core activities encompass the chartering of LNG carriers for long-term and spot market voyages, the development and operation of FSRU terminals that convert shipped LNG back into natural gas, and the deployment of FLNG vessels designed to liquefy gas offshore. Golar LNG’s FLNG project vessel, Hilli Ene M, marked a milestone as one of the first floating liquefaction facilities to begin production, underscoring the company’s role in pioneering flexible LNG supply solutions.
Golar LNG serves a diverse set of geographic markets spanning North America, Europe, Africa and the Asia-Pacific region. Its FSRU projects have been commissioned in strategic ports to meet growing demand for gas-to-power applications, while its chartered LNG carriers support global trade routes connecting major liquefaction hubs to consuming markets. The company also participates in gas-to-power ventures, leveraging its midstream expertise to deliver turnkey solutions from production to end-users.
The company is led by President and Chief Executive Officer Karl Fredrik Staubo, supported by an executive team with deep experience in maritime operations, project development and energy markets. Under this leadership, Golar LNG continues to expand its asset base, pursue technological innovation in floating gas infrastructure and reinforce its commitment to supporting the global transition toward cleaner-burning energy sources.
