Dutch based marine service company KOTUG International B.V. (KOTUG) has been awarded a contract for ENI Congo to deliver critical marine services for the Congo LNG project.
Congo LNG is a natural gas liquefaction (LNG) project situated offshore the Republic of Congo, and it includes the Tango FLNG and the Excalibur Floating Storage Unit (FSU), with a second FLNG currently under construction.
KOTUG will under the contract deploy three powerful Rotortugs to support a range of operations, including mooring and unmooring of vessels, handling mooring equipment, providing stand-by services, transporting pilots, and offering antipollution, oilfield goods, and passenger transport services.
KOTUG said in its statement that “each Rotortug delivers over 80 tons of Bollard Pull and features a unique propulsion configuration consisting of three thrusters, which provide a high level of redundancy, cost savings, and faster handling under all circumstances.”
“We are proud to be part of the Congo LNG project, providing our expertise and innovative Rotortugs to ensure the safe and efficient operation of this critical infrastructure. This partnership underscores KOTUG’s commitment to supporting the sustainable development of the local economy by leveraging local talent and resources, and underscores our commitment to excellence in the LNG sector,” said Ard-Jan Kooren, president and chief executive officer of KOTUG.
