7. Expert Opinion
7.1 EXMAR
EXMAR NV (EXM:EN Brussels) is a Belgian shipping group specialised in activities relating to the
transport of gas, and in particular the transport of liquefied gases. EXMAR has long since provided
the gas industry with a number of solutions in shipping, offshore, and services such as ship
management and engineering. The company has a growing interest in FLNG and is in the final
stages of producing what will be the world’s first operational floating LNG liquefaction unit
(“Caribbean FLNG”) through a joint venture with Pacific Rubiales Energy (PRE).
Bart Lavent is the Managing Director of EXMAR’s LNG Infrastructure division, a multidisciplinary
team responsible for the development of EXMAR’s floating LNG projects. With diverse work
experience within the energy industry, he has pioneered natural gas projects in Europe and now in
South America with the Caribbean FLNG project. Mr. Lavent has worked for EXMAR for eight
years, is an electromechanical engineer, and holds a master in financial management. Visiongain
interviewed Mr. Lavent in February 2014 and would like to thank him for his invaluable comments.
7.1.1 EXMAR In the FLNG Market
Visiongain: When did EMAR become involved in the Floating Liquefied Natural Gas Market and
what role does it play?
Bart Lavent: EXMAR has been a successful pioneer in this market with the introduction and
development of LNG Regasification Vessels (LNGRV or FSRU) in 2005. In 2006, EXMAR
developed LNG Ship-to-Ship (STS) Transfer. Today EXMAR is operating 10 FSRUs. Exmar
remains at the cutting edge in the FLNG market, having recently ordered a new generation barge-
based floating LNG regasification unit under a 50/50 joint venture with PRE [Pacific Rubiales
Energy] (through its affiliate Pacific Midstream Holding Corp). This new facility will allow the
company to meet the quick-to-market requirements of global LNG import projects currently under
development and will further increase the competitiveness of LNG compared to other energy types.
Additionally, Exmar is leading the FLNG market by working to prove that FLNG [liquefaction]
technology is the right solution to monetise gas reserves. After many years of conferences and
discussions on FLNG units, Exmar has recognised the time has now come for FLNG projects to
move forward and kick off the application of FLNG to real locations and concrete projects. Due to
