The first floating LNG (FLNG) production unit newbuilding for Mozambique has arrived off the coast.

The 3.4 million-tonne-per annum capacity Coral-Sul FLNG was spotted off Cabo Delgado in northern Mozambique on Monday.

Its arrival was announced by Mozambique's Instituto Nacional de Petroleo, which said heliport certification is under way to allow crew to be landed on the vessel and inspections to take place.
