In Brazil, Golar Power has formalized an agreement to provide the newSergipe power project with a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) for 25 years.

This involves a time charter party and operating services agreement for theGolar Nanook, which remains on track for delivery in September 2018, with commissioning activities to follow offshore Sergipe in early to mid-2019.
