According to a stock exchange filing, the contract has been awarded to APSEZ’s subsidiary Adani Harbour International FZCO, through a consortium with Argentina-based Meridian Group following a global competitive tender process conducted by SESA.
SESA, owned by Pan American Energy, YPF, Pampa Energia, Harbour Energy, and Golar LNG, will deploy two FLNG’s in Argentina.
The contract will be executed through Meridian Transportes Marítimos, a 51:49 joint venture between Adani Harbour International FZCO and Meridian Group.
APSEZ said the award strengthens its presence across international energy logistics value chains and underscores its growing capabilities in specialized marine services.
The contract marks its entry into South America.
Under the agreement, the consortium will provide end-to-end marine services, including tugboat operations for LNG carriers, offshore logistics, and supply support and crew transfer services.
The scope will be supported by four high-specification tugboats, one anchor handling tug supply vessel, and one crew boat, APSEZ said.
The company did not provide pricing details of the contract.
Golar FLNG’s
SES took a final investment decision on the second floating LNG production unit in August last year.
SESA will install two converted FLNGs owned by Golar LNG.
The MKII FLNG will be moored in the San Matías Gulf near FLNG Hilli, which is expected to start its 20-year charter with SESA during 2027.
Combined, the two units have a nameplate capacity of 5.95 mtpa.
In addition to these units, Argentina’s state-owned oil and gas company YPF, Italian energy firm Eni, and Adnoc’s investment unit XRG are evaluating adding a third FLNG to further boost the capacity of the 12 mtpa phase of the integrated Argentina LNG project.
In February, XRG signed a binding agreement with YPF and Eni to join the 12 mtpa phase of the integrated Argentina LNG project.
Under the agreement, the partners will commence front-end engineering design (FEED) and related activities, including engineering, technical structuring, and key commercial and financing workstreams.
