EXMAR has been selected by Cedar LNG Partners LP to provide marine operations and operational support for the Cedar floating liquefaction of natural gas unit (FLNG), megu. Under the award, EXMAR will deliver marine and operational expertise for the FLNG.

Cedar LNG is majority-owned by the Haisla Nation and developed in partnership with Pembina Pipeline Corporation. The company describes Cedar as the world’s first Indigenous majority-owned LNG facility and says it will be powered by renewable electricity, which it states makes the project one of the lowest carbon intensity LNG facilities globally.

The Cedar FLNG is located in Kitimat, British Columbia, Canada, within the traditional territory of the Haisla Nation. The company says the FLNG is currently under construction at Samsung Heavy Industries.

EXMAR CEO Carl-Antoine Saverys said the company is proud to be selected as a strategic partner for Cedar’s first kind of FLNG project, adding that EXMAR’s record for safe and reliable operations was valued by Cedar. He also said the partnership is expected to support future FLNG operations.
