Italian Shipyard Rosetti Marino Awarded Offshore EPC Contract for Liverpool Bay CCS Project

Italian fabricator and shipyard Rosetti Marino has been awarded an offshore EPC contract on the Liverpool Bay CCS project in the North Sea by compatriot Eni.

The project, valued at over €300m ($340m), covers a full engineering, procurement, and construction scope for the delivery of four platforms to be used for carbon dioxide storage in depleted reservoirs. The platforms will be installed in the Liverpool Bay area, off the coast of the United Kingdom.

The scope of work assigned to Rosetti Marino includes the design, material procurement, construction, and load-out of the platforms, as well as offshore hook-up and commissioning activities at sea.

According to the company, work will begin immediately and is expected to be completed progressively between 2026 and 2028.

Eni has already awarded a three-year €520m ($592m) contract to Saipem for work on the Liverpool Bay CCS project. Saipem’s scope of work concerns the EPC and assistance to the commissioning of a new CO2 electrical compression station. This new facility will be integrated with both the offshore and onshore segments of the overall development.

Both deals came a week after Eni reached the financial close with the UK Government’s Department of Energy Security and Net Zero for the project.
