Exmar and Eni celebrate Congo’s first LNG cargo

The first shipment of LNG from the Republic of the Congo is milestone that completes the implementation of the first phase of Eni-operated Congo LNG project.

The Congo LNG project features a liquefaction facility, the Tango FLNG, with a capacity of about 1 billion cubic meters per year (BCMA), moored alongside EXMAR’s Excalibur Floating Storage Unit (FSU), using an innovative configuration called "split mooring", implemented here for the first time in a floating LNG terminal.

EXMAR built and formerly owned Tango FLNG and provides the  Excalibur FSU on a long-term charter and will be in charge of all terminal operations on the Congo LNG Project.

The Congo LNG project, sanctioned by Eni in December 2022, comes on stream after just 1 year in line with the initial timeline. This achievement was made possible in close corporation with Eni as partner and building upon EXMAR’s experience within the floating infrastructure space.
