Saipem FDS 2 is a DP3 field development vessel designed for ultra-deepwater subsea construction. Operating primarily in J-lay mode, it is capable of installing rigid pipelines up to 36 inches in diameter, as well as subsea structures, umbilicals and flexible flowlines. Equipped with a 2,000-tonne J-lay tower, a 1,000-tonne offshore crane, a DP3 dynamic positioning system and automated welding systems, FDS 2 delivers high-precision and efficient installation for complex offshore field development projects.

At the center of the project, Coral Sul FLNG: a floating plant for the liquefaction of natural gas. The ship is 432 meters long and weighs 200 thousand tons. It also has a gas liquefaction capacity of 3.4 million tons per year and will produce LNG from the 500 billion cubic meters of gas from the Coral field. This historic project will help increase the availability of gas on the global market and is an important lever of Mozambique economic and social development.
