Drydocks World To Build World’s Largest Floating LNG Facility
Drydocks World, a leading marine service provider, has secured an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contract from AMIGO LNG to build the world’s largest Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) facility.
The project will include transforming two LNG carriers into Floating Storage Units (FSUs) and building two brand-new FLNG barges at Drydocks World’s yard in Dubai.
Once completed, the four-vessel facility will provide over 4.2 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of liquefaction capacity. This will surpass every other floating LNG project currently operating worldwide. The facility is scheduled to start operations in the second half of 2028.
AMIGO LNG is jointly owned by Epcilon LNG LLC, based in Texas, and Singapore’s LNG Alliance Pte Ltd.
The facility will be located off the coast of Guaymas, Sonora, in western Mexico. It will be supplied with natural gas from the US Permian Basin. Its Pacific coast location will allow shorter shipping routes to Asia compared to exports from US Gulf terminals. This means lower transportation costs, reduced emissions, and faster deliveries. The development is also expected to create a new LNG export corridor.
Drydocks World’s CEO, Capt. Rado Antolovic, called it a major achievement for the company and for Dubai. He said the company’s experience in complex conversions and large offshore projects was helping set new global standards for floating LNG.
LNG Alliance CEO, Dr. Muthu Chezhian, pointed out that the partnership with Drydocks World would ensure high-quality construction, strong production capacity, and dependable long-term performance. He added that FLNG solutions bring multiple benefits, such as faster project schedules, thorough testing, and pre-commissioning in a controlled fabrication environment.
The EPC work will follow a modular build strategy. This means the fabrication and system integration will be carried out in a controlled environment at the yard, where pre-commissioning and quality checks can be performed before deployment.
