April 13 (offshore-energy.biz) Jumbo Offshore, part of the Jumbo Group, and CoreMarine have been tasked with the transport and installation of the soft-yoke (SSY) mooring systems and hook-up of two floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) vessels in Argentina’s Golfo San Matías.
CoreMarine and Jumbo Offshore’s assignment in Argentina is for both the FLNG Hilli Episeyo and the FLNG MKII. This deal was awarded by Southern Energy S.A. (SESA), supported by a consortium comprising Pan American Energy, YPF, Pampa Energía, Harbour Energy, and Golar LNG.
The award is said to represent a major milestone for both companies and a breakthrough project for Argentina’s gas sector as it ramps up its export capabilities, with the partners perceived to be advancing one of the country’s most strategically important energy developments to date.
As lead contractor, CoreMarine will contract Jumbo Offshore to transport and install the SSY mooring system, including heavy lift and piling activities. Afterward, the firm will follow up with diving and construction activities, such as spool installation, ballasting, riser hook-up, pre-commissioning, positioning, and hook-up of FLNGs.
