February 24, 2026 [Storage Terminals Magazine]- Technip Energies, in partnership with JGC Corporation and Samsung Heavy Industries, has been awarded a significant contract by Mozambique Rovuma Venture, a joint venture in which Eni holds participation, to advance work on the Coral Norte Floating Liquefied Natural Gas project offshore Mozambique.

The project represents the deployment of Mozambique’s second floating LNG facility and marks a further milestone in the development of the country’s offshore gas resources. The newly awarded contract builds on previously announced early works and confirms continued progress across Technip Energies’ scope on Coral Norte.

Development has advanced rapidly through early works and the adoption of a replica concept, with the hull launched on January 16th, 2026, in Geoje, South Korea.

Coral Norte has been designed as an enhanced replica of the Coral Sul FLNG facility, drawing on the same feed gas composition and field location. By leveraging a proven design and integrating lessons learned, the project aims to benefit from reduced execution risk, improved efficiency, increased LNG capacity and optimised operational performance.

Loïc Chapuis, President Project Delivery & Services at Technip Energies, stated that the award reflects the company’s engineering and project delivery capabilities, as well as its ability to replicate established solutions with consistency and discipline. He added that, building on the success of Coral Sul and in collaboration with JGC and Samsung Heavy Industries, the contract further strengthens the longstanding partnership with Eni and its Area 4 partners, while reinforcing Technip Energies’ position in delivering complex LNG developments to support long-term energy supply and security in Mozambique and beyond.
