MOLDE, Norway, July 7, 2026 – Axess Group has been selected by Golar LNG, a global leader in offshore LNG infrastructure, to carry out maintenance build and integrity management activities across two FLNG assets, following competitive tender processes.
For the MK II FLNG, the scope includes maintenance build services, covering the development of an asset hierarchy and asset register, along with comprehensive maintenance and inspection programmes, to establish a solid foundation for long-term asset integrity and operational reliability.
Separately, Axess has been awarded integrity revalidation services for the Hilli FLNG, supporting the asset’s redeployment through RBI revalidation, structural integrity reassessment, and inspection baseline consolidation. Axess will leverage its global footprint and full-service portfolio to deliver end-to-end, digitally-enabled Asset Integrity Management (AIM) solutions across both assets.
These awards mark a strategic milestone for the Group, strengthening its position in the global FLNG segment, deepening its long-term relationship with Golar across the operating fleet, and establishing a foothold for execution and operational support activities in South America.
“These awards reflect the strong confidence in Axess’ execution model and technical expertise in asset integrity for FLNG assets. They provide a solid platform for long-term value creation through high-quality AIM delivery and operational support,” Andreas Sæter, VP – Europe at Axess Group said.
Set for delivery in Q4 2027, the MK II FLNG, converted from the LNG carrier Fuji, is a next-generation floating LNG unit with a liquefaction capacity of 3.5 million tonnes per year. The Hilli FLNG is one of the world’s first converted floating LNG units and has been in commercial operation since 2018.
