Technip Energies, working in partnership with JGC and Samsung Heavy Industries, has been awarded a significant contract by Mozambique Rovuma Venture (MRV) — an Eni-participated joint venture — to advance the Coral Norte Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) project offshore Mozambique, marking the country’s second floating LNG development.
The award builds on an earlier early-works contract and signals continued advancement of Technip Energies’ scope of work on the project. Designed as an enhanced replica of the already-operational Coral Sul FLNG facility, Coral Norte draws on the same feed gas composition and field location while incorporating lessons learned to improve efficiency, LNG output and performance at scale. The hull launch for the vessel took place on January 16, 2026, in Geoje, South Korea.
“Coral Norte is a clear recognition of Technip Energies’ engineering and project delivery expertise and our ability to replicate proven solutions with discipline and certainty,” said Loïc Chapuis, President of Project Delivery & Services at Technip Energies. “Building on the success of Coral Sul, and together with JGC and Samsung Heavy Industries, this award further strengthens our long-standing partnership with Eni and their Area 4 partners. It also underscores our leadership in delivering innovative and complex LNG solutions to support long-term energy supply and security in Mozambique and globally.”
The Coral Norte project reinforces floating LNG as a scalable development model for remote deepwater resources and cements Mozambique’s position as a significant player in global gas supply.
