Newbuildings [Abstract] |
Newbuildings | NEWBUILDINGS As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we have a newbuilding commitment for the construction of a FSRU, expected to be delivered in November 2017. The following table sets out as at June 30, 2016, the estimated timing of the remaining installment payments due under the present newbuilding contract:
(in thousands of $) | June 30, 2016 |
Payable within 6 months to December 31, 2016 | 30,938 |
Payable within 2017 | 185,625 |
| 216,563 |
In July 2016, on closing of the joint venture agreement with Stonepeak, we contributed our subsidiary that owns the FSRU newbuilding to Golar Power and, accordingly, the related assets and liabilities were classified as held-for-sale (see note 4).
