DEME scores Angola LNG dredging contract

Belgian dredging specialist DEME has secured a contract from the Chevron-led Angola LNG project.

Angola LNG awarded a 5-year maintenance dredging contract to DEME for its LNG export terminal located in Soyo.

To remind, the $10 billion Angola LNG project, restarted operations in May last year after it was closed for more than two years due to a major rupture on a flare line that occurred in April 2014.

The Soyo LNG plant has a capacity to produce 5.2 million tons of the chilled fuel per year.
