JGC Holdings Corporation representative director, president and COO Tadashi Ishizuka said: “We believe that our consortium secured the order for the Petronas FLNG facility project on the basis of JGC’s world-leading project management capabilities and the company’s advanced and proven technologies in LNG plants, accounting for about 30% of LNG plants worldwide, as well as SHI’s world-class shipbuilding capabilities in this field.

“JGC’s strong leadership backed by excellent project management know-how has been demonstrated during the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) stage.”
