French LNG containment giant GTT has secured a tank design order from South Korean shipbuilder Samsung Heavy for one FLNG being built for Canada’s Cedar LNG.

GTT said in a statement on Monday it has secured the contract during the second quarter of this year.

Under the deal, GTT will design the tanks of this FLNG, which will have a total capacity of 180,000 cbm, and will incorporate GTT’s Mark III Flex membrane containment system, it said.

The delivery of this FLNG is scheduled for the first quarter of 2028.

Last month, Canada’s Pembina Pipeline and the Haisla Nation took a positive final investment decision on their $4 billion Cedar 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), located in the traditional territory of the Haisla Nation, on Canada’s West Coast.

In April, Cedar LNG issued a notice to proceed to Samsung Heavy Industries and Black & Veatch for Cedar LNG’s floating LNG production unit following the finalization of long-term commercial offtake agreements.

SHI is responsible for the hull of the FLNG and topside plant processes, while Black & Veatch will provide its PRICO technology.

The facility, which will be powered by renewable electricity from BC Hydro, is expected to be in service in late 2028.
