Technip Energies Secures Contract for FLNG Coral Norte in Mozambique
Technip Energies, in partnership with JGC and Samsung Heavy Industries, has secured a contract from Mozambique Rovuma Venture to continue work on the Coral Norte floating liquefied natural gas project, located off the coast of Mozambique.
Contract Awarded for Continued Development
The contract was awarded to Technip Energies in partnership with JGC and Samsung Heavy Industries by Mozambique Rovuma Venture (MRV), a joint venture including participation from Eni. This contract builds on a previous announcement for preliminary work and involves continuing the development of the Coral Norte floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) project, situated off the coast of Mozambique. The Coral Norte project marks the deployment of the country's second floating liquefied natural gas facility.
