In May 2014, we entered into agreements for the conversion of the Hilli to a FLNGV. The primary contract was entered into with Keppel. Following the payment of the initial milestone installment, these agreements became fully effective on July 2, 2014. The Hilli was delivered to Keppel in Singapore to undergo her conversion in September 2014. We expect the conversion will require 31 months to complete, followed by expected mobilization to a project for full commissioning.

Accordingly, the carrying value of the Hilli of $31.0 million, has been reclassified from "Vessels and equipment, net" to "Asset under development". The total estimated conversion and vessel and site commissioning cost for the Hilli, is approximately $1.3 billion. Additional interest costs capitalized in connection with the Hilli conversion for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were $1.3 million.

As at June 30, 2015, the estimated timing of the firm outstanding payments in connection with the Hilli conversion are as follows:
