Company Overview

Golar LNG Ltd. is a leading owner and operator of liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers and floating infrastructure. The company specializes in the transportation of LNG on long-term and spot charters for major energy firms around the world. In addition to shipping, Golar LNG has broadened its services to include project development and the conversion of existing carriers into Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) and Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) vessels.

Since pioneering the first purpose-built FLNG conversion project, Golar LNG has been at the forefront of offshore gas monetization. Its flagship FLNG facility, Hilli Episeyo, has delivered LNG cargoes from offshore gas fields in West Africa and Southeast Asia. Complementing the FLNG business, Golar’s FSRUs provide turnkey solutions for rapid deployment of regasification capacity in markets where pipeline infrastructure is limited or under development.

Golar LNG’s fleet strategy combines newbuild carriers with conversion projects to optimize asset utilization and maintain a competitive cost structure. The company’s projects and long-term charters span diverse geographies, including West Africa, Latin America, the Mediterranean and Asia. Through strategic partnerships and joint ventures, Golar continues to expand its platform for integrated LNG solutions, from liquefaction and shipping to regasification and onward delivery by pipeline or truck.

Headquartered in Hamilton, Bermuda, Golar LNG is led by a seasoned management team with deep expertise in maritime operations and project development. Under the direction of CEO Karl Fredrik Staubo, the company remains focused on delivering reliable LNG transport and offshore infrastructure services while pursuing growth opportunities within the global energy transition. Golar’s integrated business model positions it to serve both established gas markets and emerging demand centers.
