McDermott and Cameron LNG sign agreement

McDermott International, Inc. and its joint member Chiyoda, have entered into an agreement with Cameron LNG related to the construction of its LNG liquefaction project in Louisiana.

The agreement aligns the start dates for any schedule-related liquidated damages to be consistent with the current schedule, and fully aligns and strengthens the commitment of CCJV to complete the project in accordance with the current schedule.

The agreement will also provide the opportunity for incentive bonus payments for achieving construction and commissioning milestones on specified dates for trains 2 and 3.

“Over the past year, we have further strengthened our relationship with Cameron LNG and our leadership, oversight, execution, forecasting and reporting on the project,” said Samik Mukherjee, Group Senior Vice-President of Projects.

“In the last few months, the joint venture project team has made tremendous progress, including first liquid and first cargo from Train 1.”

“We are extremely pleased with the agreement which is a testament to the progress and the strong performance of our project team.”

“It was crafted with the full support and collaboration of Cameron LNG to optimise the timing and cost-effectiveness of the remaining work – and it does so in a way that we believe will benefit all involved parties.”

The project was approximately 90% complete in Q1 (2019). McDermott expects initial production from Trains 2 and 3 in Q1 and Q2 (2020), respectively.

Since the initial award in 2014, McDermott and Chiyoda have provided the engineering, procurement and construction for the Cameron LNG project. The project includes three liquefaction trains with a projected export capacity of more than 12 million tonnes per annum of LNG.
