Exmar announced the contract in a statement on Monday.
The contract scope includes developing dedicated operational procedures for the FLNG, to be named megúgu.
Exmar’s teams will be involved across the project’s phases, starting immediately during construction and pre-operations, in close partnership with the Cedar team, Exmar said.
The shipping firm did not provide any other details regarding the contract.
“Exmar is proud to be selected as a strategic partner and embark on this unique, first-of-its-kind FLNG project. Our unique track record for safe and reliable operations has been thoroughly valued by Cedar. We are confident this partnership will create a strong base for future FLNG operations,” Exmar’s CEO, Carl-Antoine Saverys, said.
In June 2024, Pembina and the Haisla Nation took the final investment decision on the $4 billion LNG project.
The Haisla Nation has a 50.1 percent stake and Pembina owns 49.9 percent in the project, which includes the construction of a floating LNG facility with a nameplate capacity of 3.3 million tonnes per annum (mtpa).
Cedar LNG issued a notice to proceed to Samsung Heavy and Black & Veatch for its FLNG following the finalization of long-term commercial offtake agreements.
Samsung Heavy is responsible for the hull of the FLNG and topside plant processes, while Black & Veatch will provide its PRICO technology.
In June last year, Samsung Heavy officially started building Cedar’s FLNG.
Once complete, the vessel will be transported from South Korea to the Cedar LNG site in Haisla traditional territory in Kitimat, British Columbia.
Cedar LNG said the FLNG is anticipated to be complete in 2028, prior to Cedar LNG’s estimated in-service date of late 2028.
