Italian firm Eni has awarded major engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and commissioning (EPCIC) contract to Wison (Nantong) Heavy Industry for a floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility.

The 380m-long and 60m-wide FLNG unit will also have capacity to over 180,000 cubic meters of LNG and 45,000 cubic meters of LPGs.
To be anchored at a water-depth of around 40m, the facility will be the second of its kind to be deployed in the country. The first one is the 0.6 MTPA Tango FLNG, which is due to start production in 2023.
Eni said in a statement: “LNG production capacity on Marine XII will reach 3 million tonnes/year (over 4.5 billion cubic meters/year) in 2025.
