Technip Energies, working with JGC and Samsung Heavy Industries, has received a significant contract from Mozambique Rovuma Venture (MRV)—an Eni-participated joint venture—to advance work on the Coral Norte floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) project offshore Mozambique.

The award follows an earlier contract covering early works and reinforces continued progress within Technip Energies’ scope on Coral Norte. The development is positioned as Mozambique’s second floating LNG facility.

Project execution has been accelerated through early works and the use of a replica approach. In line with that strategy, the hull launch was completed on 16 January 2026 in Geoje, South Korea.

Coral Norte is designed as an enhanced replica of the Coral Sul project, reflecting the same feed gas composition and field location. By relying on an established design basis while integrating lessons learned from the first development, the project is expected to support de-risked execution, improved efficiency, increased LNG capacity, and optimized performance—aiming to strengthen certainty and predictability at scale.

Loïc Chapuis, President Project Delivery & Services at Technip Energies, said the award highlights the company’s engineering and project delivery capabilities and its ability to replicate proven solutions with discipline. He added that the contract, delivered alongside JGC and Samsung Heavy Industries, further reinforces a long-standing partnership with Eni and its Area 4 partners, while supporting long-term energy supply and security in Mozambique and globally.
