South Korean shipyard Samsung Heavy Industries has launched the hull of the $2.5bn floating LNG production unit that will serve the Eni-led Coral FLNG project for Mozambique.
The 3.4 million tonnes per annum Coral-Sul FLNG unit, which is 439 metres in length, 38.5 metres high with a 65-metre beam, will be able to produce LNG and other liquids.
The vessel will be used to develop the Mamba gas discovery in the Rovuma Basin, which lies about 48 km off Mozambique.
