Morocco Advances Plans for New LNG Terminal in Mohammedia Port

This project, designed in the wake of the closure of the Maghreb Europe Gas Pipeline, will allow the regasification of liquefied natural gas (LNG) transported by sea by shippers from their production areas.

Regarding the tender, the companies have proposed scenarios for the updating or renovation of port C of Mohammedia, with a view to installing a gas terminal (Liquefied Natural Gas, (LNG)) and a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU).

The choice was made for CID-Artelia SAS-Principia-Artelia Industrie for an amount of around 8.4 MDH. The study must be delivered within five to six months, by the end of August at the latest. It will have to, among other things, design the industrial design of the site’s facilities for the purpose of receiving and transporting natural gas to the distribution site.

The study will also have to sequence the various stages of reception and unloading, storage, regasification and emission on the national transport network. The details of mooring the methane carrier and the FRSU, and that of the methane carrier to the FRSU, are also expected.
