Drydocks World wins contract for world's largest floating LNG facility

Drydocks World, a unit of DP World, has secured a landmark contract to build the world’s largest floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) liquefaction facility off Mexico's west coast.

The deal was awarded by AMIGO LNG, a joint venture between Texas-based Epcilon LNG LLC and Singapore-based LNG Alliance Pte Ltd.

The project involves converting two LNG carriers into floating storage units and constructing two new FLNG barges at Drydocks World’s Dubai yard.

Once operational in 2028, the four-vessel facility will deliver over 4.2 million tonnes of LNG annually, making it the largest of its kind globally.

The facility will be located off the coast of Sonora, Mexico, and will export LNG sourced from the US Permian Basin to markets in Asia and Latin America.

Its strategic location is expected to reduce shipping times, cut emissions and enhance global energy security.

Drydocks World CEO, Captain Rado Antolovic, says the project sets new global benchmarks for floating LNG solutions and reinforces Dubai’s role as a hub for advanced maritime engineering.

The modular construction approach will ensure faster delivery, higher quality and a lower environmental footprint.
