History

The company's roots go back to the shipping company, founded in 1946 Gotaas -Larsen. This began in 1970 with the operation of LNG tankers. The first new building built in 1975 Hilli, is still at Golar going. Gotaas -Larsen was first taken over by Osprey Maritime 1997. Osprey Maritime, in turn, was acquired in May 2001 by World Shipholding, a company of the Norwegian- Cypriot entrepreneur John Fredriksen. The ship's inventory of six LNG tankers grew since the acquisition on 13 units, including the two vessels Golar Winter and Golar Spirit, the first two tank storage vessels with re-liquefaction plants ( Floating Storage Regasification Unit and, FSRU ).
