MCDERMOTT International has landed a major contract to build a breakthrough 2.1 million tonnes per annum liquefied natural gas plant in British Columbia, Canada, that will be powered by hydro-electricity. The US player has been handed an engineering, procurement, fabrication and construction contract by Woodfibre LNG for the facility that will be located in Squamish, just a few kilometres north-east of Vancouver. While the project has yet to be sanctioned, the project proponent noted that the EPFC contract "is an important step in advancing detailed engineering and construction scheduling work in advance of... issuing a notice to proceed". Privately-owned Woodfibre LNG, a subsidiary of Vancouver-based Pacific Energy Corporation (Canada) Limited, aims to bring the project online in the second half of 2027.
