    SAN DONATO MILANESE, Italy — Golar LNG will repurpose the LNG carrier Golar Arctic as a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) that will operate offshore Sardinia.

    Start of activities for the conversion and related issues remain subject to Snam’s issuing a notice to proceed. The conversion/delivery should take about two years to complete.
