The first cargo loading ceremony has been held for Eni's Nguya FLNG offshore Pointe-Noire, Republic of the Congo, which Wison New Energies is executing as EPCIC contractor. The 2.4 MTPA unit produced its first LNG on January 22, 2026, and offloaded its first cargo on February 7, 2026. The milestone confirms the completion of key commissioning and start-up activities, with the full process train lined up and the project entering operation.
The first cargo validates the overall process scheme, the engineering integrity and the performance of critical equipment. The core liquefaction technology package and its ICSS system have been proven under live gas conditions, with key equipment operating steadily within the design envelope.
After its record of 35 months from contract award to start-up, Nguya FLNG has now delivered its first cargo, showing the efficiency of Eni's fast-track development model and the end-to-end strength of Wison's one-stop EPCIC delivery for large floating energy projects.
Wison New Energies and Eni have also signed an operations and global maintenance services (O&M) contract for Nguya FLNG, extending the collaboration from delivery and start-up into operations and maintenance.
