European EPC contractor MT Group has been contracted by the e Cobra IS, Sener consortium to implement balance of plant infrastructure at the Brunsbüttel LNG terminal, with project completion scheduled for 2027. Developed by German LNG Terminal, the Brunsbüttel facility will have an initial regasification capacity of up to 10 Bcm/y.

June 22 (LNGJ) - Spanish engineering company Sener has been contracted the owners of the Gate LNG import terminal in Rotterdam, Dutch utility Gasunie and global storage company Royal Vopak, to increase the facility’s send-out capacity by an additional 1.5 billions of cubic metres per annum. This will bring terminal’s handling capability to 13.5 Bcm.

   The scope of Sener’s work is procurement and construction management of the send-out capacity expansion. This consists of the installation of a vaporizer and a high-pressure LNG pump together with all its associated facilities, such as equipment foundations, interconnection of piping and racks, power supply and process control.

Sept 18 (LNGJ) - Spanish engineering company Sener has signed a contract with Venice-based Italian port and services company Rimorchiatori Riuniti Panfido to deliver basic engineering and technical assistance in the construction of a liquefied natural gas barge transporter to operate in the Adriatic. Panfido is a leading tug and barge owner in Europe and the barge transporter project is co-funded by the European Union. Sener said the unit’s design is a combination of an LNG-fueled tractor tug and an LNG bunkering non-propelled pontoon with 4,000 cubic metres capacity. The deal is one of many contracts being announced this week at the Gastech 2018 exhibition and conference in the Spanish city of Barcelona.

The Italian-Spanish engineering consortium that built Europe’s newest liquefied natural gas import terminal at the French Channel port of Dunkirk has expressed satisfaction at the project reaching the commissioning state.
