The United Arab Emirates-based Drydocks World, a DP World company, has been awarded an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract by AMIGO LNG for a large floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) liquefaction facility.
This project includes the conversion of two LNG carriers into floating storage units (FSUs) and the construction of two newbuild FLNG barges at the Drydocks World’s yard in Dubai.
Once operational in the second half of 2028, the four-vessel facility will provide more than 4.2 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of liquefaction capacity.
Located off Guaymas, Sonora on Mexico’s west coast and supplied with natural gas from the US Permian Basin, the facility will expand Mexico’s role in global energy supply by enabling direct LNG exports to meet growing demand in Asia and Latin America.
As informed, Drydocks World has completed more than 10 major LNG and FSRU conversion projects.
Mexican AMIGO LNG is a joint venture between Texas-based Epcilon LNG LLC and Singapore-based LNG Alliance Pte Ltd.
“This contract represents a major milestone for Drydocks World and Dubai. With our expertise in complex offshore conversions and large-scale new builds, we are setting new global benchmarks for floating LNG solutions. At the same time, this project reinforces Dubai’s position as a hub for advanced maritime engineering that powers global trade and the energy transition,” says Capt. Rado Antolovic, PhD, CEO, Drydocks World.
