German LNG Terminal GmbH has selected the Spanish-German partnership COBRA Instalaciones y Servicios S.A., SENER Ingeniería y sistemas S.A.and TGE Gas Engineering GmbH as an exclusive candidate for the final phase of the tender procedure for the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract.
This final phase will consist of a comprehensive value-improvement exercise and a detailed price actualisation to make the project more cost-efficient and aims at concluding a binding EPC contract by the end of 2020. It is expected that the detailed design and engineering work, necessary to develop purchase orders of long-lead products, can then be started soon after the finalisation of the contract.

Between them they share a design and construction history of involvement in a number of LNG terminal projects, such as Sines (Portugal) / Sagunto and Bahía Bizcaya (Spain) / Gate (The Netherlands) / Dunkerque (France) / and Zeebrugge (Belgium). Vendors of equipment or potential subcontractors who are interested in the next phases of the project should contact COBRA’s & SENER’s head offices in Madrid.
