DUBAI, UAE (By LNG Alliance, 25.Aug.2025, Words: 415) — AMIGO LNG SA de CV, the Mexican joint venture of Texas based Epcilon LNG LLC and Singapore-based LNG Alliance Pte Ltd, announced the formal award of the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract to Drydocks World for the fabrication and delivery of the world’s largest floating LNG (FLNG) liquefaction facility and related floating storage units (FSU) infrastructure.
Under the EPC contract, Drydocks World will carry out the conversion of FSU to support LNG export operations, alongside the construction of new-build FLNG barges incorporating advanced US based pre-treatment and liquefaction technologies.
The scope includes delivering the world’s largest FLNG facility, with a production capacity more than 4.2 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) and integrating process modules and systems to enable high-capacity, continuous, reliable and safe LNG production.
