Background

The project was proposed as an additional floating terminal to complement the onshore Rovuma LNG Terminal, which would help circumvent political risks that competitor ExxonMobil experienced building the Mozambique LNG Terminal.

As of August 2023, it was unclear whether Eni's Coral North FLNG Terminal project would address the proposal, or whether Rovuma FLNG Terminal would continue development independently.
