Dredging Today: Mozambique LNG Deal for Van Oord

Dutch dredging specialist Van Oord, in consortium with TechnipFMC, has won a contract by Anadarko Moçambique Área 1, Lda, for their Area 1 Mozambique Golfinho/Atum development.

The contract will cover the Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation (EPCI) of the subsea systems.

According to the agreement, Van Oord will execute the shallow offshore installation scope while its consortium partner TechnipFMC is responsible for the deep water scope.

Commenting the latest news, Maurits den Broeder, Managing Director Van Oord Offshore, said: “We are proud to be part of this prestigious project and look forward to working with TechnipFMC for Anadarko to deliver this important piece of energy transition infrastructure which will allow Mozambique to unlock its natural resources.”

The Anadarko-led Area 1 Mozambique LNG project will be Mozambique’s first onshore LNG development, initially consisting of two LNG trains with total nameplate capacity of 12.88 Mtpa to support the development of the Golfinho/Atum fields located entirely within Offshore Area 1.

According to Van Oord, the upcoming months will be dedicated to project preparation. The works, set to kick off in 2021, will be carried out under strict environmental requirements.

The total contract value for the consortium TechnipFMC and Van Oord is over $1 billion.
