Arctic LNG 2 announced that the first modules for LNG Train 1 were successfully delivered by the Project’s EPC contractor, a joint venture of Technip Energies, Saipem and NIPIGAS.
The two first pipe-rack modules weighing approximately nine thousand tons each were shipped from the Zhoushan port in China to the NOVATEK-Murmansk LNG Construction Center and will be further skidded onto the Gravity Base Structure, or GBS, platform of LNG Train 1. The next two modules have been loaded onto a transport ship and are on transit to Murmansk. Overall, 14 modules will be delivered from contractors’ shipyards for the first LNG train. The Arctic LNG 2 project is progressing on schedule, and the successful delivery of the first modules represents an important milestone towards launching the Project on time.
