McDermott and its joint venture partner, Chiyoda International Corporation (CIC), have finalised a contract amendment with Golden Pass LNG Terminal LLC (GPLNG) for the completion of Trains 2 and 3 at the Golden Pass LNG Project in Sabine Pass, Texas. This latest agreement follows a previous amendment signed in November 2024, which covered the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) of Train 1. In June 2025, the three parties reached binding terms addressing key aspects of the remaining scope for Trains 2 and 3. Under the revised contract, McDermott will continue to serve as the lead partner in constructing the three LNG trains, each with a capacity of approximately 6.0 million tonnes per annum (MTPA).
The amendment underscores the ongoing collaboration between the companies to deliver the project safely and efficiently. Michael McKelvy, president and chief executive officer of McDermott, stated, “We remain committed to working closely with Golden Pass LNG and Chiyoda to complete this important energy infrastructure project. We look forward to continuing to apply our expertise, capabilities, and best practices on Trains 2 and 3, and providing employment and development opportunities for the local community”.
At its peak, the project is expected to employ approximately 9,000 people during the construction phase and more than 300 individuals once operational.
