🚢 First Cargo from Nguya FLNG: Eni Quietly Becomes the World’s FLNG Powerhouse
The first LNG cargo from Nguya FLNG marks more than a project milestone, it signals a structural shift in the global FLNG landscape.
With Nguya now online, Eni has surpassed 6 MTPA of liquefaction capacity produced entirely from FLNG assets, a scale unmatched by any other operator.
The portfolio now includes:
-Coral Sul FLNG (Mozambique, operational)
-Tango FLNG (Congo, operational)
-Nguya FLNG (Congo, operational)
-Coral North FLNG (Mozambique, under construction)
And the trajectory is even more striking. Once Coral North FLNG enters service, expected by 2028, Eni’s floating liquefaction capacity will rise to ~10 MTPA, consolidating its position as the largest FLNG operator globally.
This is more than capacity growth. It’s a demonstration of:
-Strategic use of modular, relocatable liquefaction
-Acceleration of gas monetization in frontier basins
-A replicable model for nations seeking rapid LNG deployment
-A shift in the competitive balance between floating and onshore LNG

FLNG is no longer a niche. It’s becoming a central pillar of global LNG supply, and Eni is writing the playbook.

🚢 Coral Norte FLNG Takes to the Water — A Turning Point for the Global FLNG Market 🌍
Launch of the Eni's Coral Norte FLNG on January 16th 2026 at Samsung Heavy Industries’ Geoje shipyard marks far more than a construction milestone — it signals a new era for the global FLNG industry.
With 3.6 MTPA of liquefaction capacity and delivery planned for 2028, Coral Norte builds directly on the successful Coral Sul FLNG, which has already delivered over 135 LNG cargoes since 2022.
🔁 From One‑Off Megaprojects to Replication
Historically, FPSOs and FLNGs were bespoke engineering giants — but rare carbon‑copy successes like Kizomba A/B and Kaombo FPSOs proved the power of replication. Now, with Coral Norte following Coral Sul, we may finally be witnessing the first true series approach in FLNG.
🏗️ SHI & Eni: The Two Emerging Leaders
Samsung Heavy Industries has secured 6 of the 14 FLNG units ever ordered globally, positioning itself as the industry’s premier FLNG builder.
Eni is now the world’s most active FLNG operator, with four units simultaneously in operation or construction, including the newly started Nguya FLNG in Congo.
🌐 Other Key Players
PETRONAS/Golar LNG continue to expand operational and commercial FLNG footprints.
Wison New Energies is emerging as a major shipyard force with its third FLNG under construction for Indonesia.
📈 FLNG Capacity: Now and Toward 2030
Global FLNG capacity is set to triple from 14.1 MTPA (2024) to 55 MTPA by 2030.
🚀 Why This Matters
Coral Norte may become the industry’s first step toward standardization in FLNG — a shift that could lower costs, shorten schedules, reduce risk, and unlock offshore gas plays previously considered uneconomical.
In other words:
FLNG is no longer an experiment. It is becoming an industrial product.

Gastech 2025 Confirms New Energy Trends for the Floaters of the Future

🌍 The future of floating energy is here.
At Gastech 2025, the spotlight was on ammonia, CCS, and modular LNG as the next big drivers for FPSO and FLNG innovation.
✅ Key Highlights:
Ammonia as a marine fuel: Blue for transition, Green for zero-carbon future.
SBM Offshore : Blue Ammonia FPSO + NearZero FPSO with CCS.
Wison New Energies : Green Ammonia FPSO and FLNG partnerships.MODECC: LCO₂ Floating Storage & Injection Unit (FSIU) for offshore CCS.Technip Energiess : SnapLNG™, BlueH₂, and low-carbon ammonia leadership.
💡 Why it matters:
Ammonia is not just a fuel—it’s a hydrogen carrier, a marine decarbonization enabler, and a key pillar of the energy transition.
