Wedoany.com Report-Aug. 12, AMIGO LNG SA de CV, a joint venture between Epcilon LNG and LNG Alliance, has awarded the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract for its marine facilities to Constructora Manzanillo SA de CV (COMSA Marine). This marks a significant step for AMIGO LNG's 7.8 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) export terminal, which will be located in Guaymas, Sonora, on Mexico’s west coast.

The project is seen as crucial for AMIGO LNG’s 7.8mtpa export terminal in Guaymas.

Under the terms of the EPC contract, COMSA Marine will oversee the construction of key marine infrastructure at the terminal. This includes the LNG jetty, berthing and mooring facilities, and the necessary utilities to support LNG loading operations. The terminal will feature quad-berth marine facilities, which are designed to accommodate LNG loading arms with a capacity of over 15,000 cubic metres per hour, ensuring efficient and rapid loading.

Muthu Chezhian, CEO of LNG Alliance, commented: “Awarding the EPC contract for our marine facilities represents a key achievement in our project schedule.” He also emphasized COMSA Marine’s extensive experience in LNG terminal construction and marine engineering, ensuring the project meets the highest safety, quality, and environmental standards.

Ruben Alamo, president of COMSA Marine, expressed pride in being entrusted with the project: “We are honoured to be entrusted with this challenging project.” He further highlighted the importance of utilizing local expertise while maintaining international standards to create long-term value for the region.

The AMIGO LNG terminal is strategically located to take advantage of Guaymas’ deepwater port and its proximity to major natural gas supplies. The project is set to begin LNG exports by the third quarter of 2028, contributing to economic development in the region. The project is expected to foster local supply chain engagement, create job opportunities, and enhance Sonora's infrastructure.

With the EPC contract in place, AMIGO LNG is moving forward with a critical component of its plans to establish a robust LNG export terminal that will serve international markets, bolstering Mexico's role in the global energy sector.
