On February 24, French engineering and technology company Technip Energies announced on its official website that it, along with JGC and Samsung Heavy Industries, had successfully secured a major contract from Mozambique Rovuma Venture (MRV). As is customary for the company, such contracts are valued between $50 million and $250 million.
MRV is a joint venture, with energy giant Eni participating in its operation, aimed at advancing the construction of the Coral Norte floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) project off the coast of Mozambique. This landmark project will be the second FLNG in Mozambique.
This landmark project marks the deployment of the country’s second floating LNG facility.
This significant contract accumulates with the one previously announced for early works and confirms the continued advancement of Technip Energies’ scope of work on the Coral Norte FLNG project.
Through early works and the adoption of the replica concept, the project is progressing fast and the hull launch took place on January 16, 2026, in Geoje, South Korea.
Coral Norte is designed as an enhanced replica of the successful Coral Sul project, drawing on the same feed gas composition and field location. By capitalizing on this proven design and incorporating lessons learned, Coral Norte will benefit from de-risked project execution, increased efficiency, LNG capacity, and optimized performance – delivering greater certainty and predictability at scale.
Loïc Chapuis, President Project Delivery & Services of Technip Energies, commented: “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. 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.”
