Singapore-based LNG Alliance said on Friday this milestone marks “significant” progress in the development of Amigo LNG’s export terminal in Guaymas, Sonora, on Mexico’s west coast.
Under the EPC contract, Comsa Marine will be responsible for the detailed engineering, construction, and commissioning of Amigo LNG terminal’s marine infrastructure, including the LNG jetty, berthing and mooring facilities, and associated utilities to support LNG loading operations.
The quad-berth marine facilities, equipped with LNG loading arms exceeding 15,000 cbm/hour, ensure “rapid vessel turnaround and efficient LNG loading operations.”
LNG Alliance did not provide contract pricing detals.
“Awarding the EPC contract for our marine facilities represents a key achievement in our project schedule,” said Muthu Chezhian, CEO of LNG Alliance.
“Comsa Marine brings extensive experience in LNG terminal construction and marine engineering, which ensures we will meet the highest standards of safety, quality, and environmental stewardship,” he said.
Q3 2028
Strategically located to leverage Guaymas’ deepwater port and proximity to major gas supplies, Amigo LNG aims to begin LNG exports by the third quarter of 2028.
Moreover, Amigo LNG’s “competitive” pricing and reduced shipping distances could equate to 35 percent shorter voyage time, according to LNG Alliance.
Last month, LNG Alliance selected Chart Industries to supply its process technology and modular liquefaction solution for the planned Amigo LNG export facility.
In April, Amigo LNG signed a 15-year sales and purchase agreement with Oman’s state-owned firm OQ Trading to supply the latter with liquefied natural gas from its planned export plant in Mexico.
OQ Trading will purchase 0.6 mtpa of LNG on a FOB basis from Amigo LNG’s export terminal.
Amigo LNG also signed a 20-year sales and purchase agreement with Sahara Group.
Under this deal, Shara will purchase 0.6 mtpa of LNG from Amigo LNG’s planned export terminal.
In addition to these two SPAs, Amigo LNG signed a heads of agreement with Malaysia’s E&H Energy in August 2024.
Under this deal, Amigo LNG plans to supply 3.6 mtpa of LNG to E&H for the Malaysian market over 20 years.
