Technip Energies has been awarded a front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract for the Yan offshore regasification terminal project in Kedah, Malaysia, according to a report by Bojan Lepic published in Splash247 on August 11, 2026. The project, dubbed RGT Yan, will create a new LNG entry point in the northern region of Peninsular Malaysia, with a design capacity of 6 million tonnes per annum, strengthening the resilience and flexibility of the country's natural gas supply for industrial and power demand, Splash247 reported.
Contract Scope and Developer Structure
According to Splash247, Technip Energies — a French-based engineering and technology company — will evaluate the best regasification terminal configurations before completing the full FEED for the selected solution. Specifically, the FEED scope includes:
- evaluating the best regasification terminal configurations before completing the full FEED for the selected solution;
- establishing the project's technical basis; and
- supporting progression towards a final investment decision (FID).
The terminal is being jointly developed by Gas Malaysia, Tokyo Gas Asia, and VTTI, the report stated. No financial terms, contract value, or project timeline were disclosed in the article.
Infrastructure Components and Capacity
Per Splash247, the RGT Yan terminal will have a capacity of 6 million tonnes per annum and will comprise an offshore FSRU, marine infrastructure, a subsea gas pipeline, and an onshore receiving facility.

Regional Supply Chain Significance
Splash247 reported that the RGT Yan project will introduce a new LNG entry point in the northern region of Peninsular Malaysia. The same report stated that the project will strengthen the resilience and flexibility of the country's natural gas supply, support growing industrial and power demand, and contribute to energy security across the region.
The article identified the project's physical components: an offshore FSRU, marine infrastructure, a subsea gas pipeline, and an onshore receiving facility. These elements will constitute the LNG import chain for the northern Malay Peninsula. Splash247 did not disclose a project timeline, construction schedule, or financial terms.
Watch List
The FEED award is an early-stage step in the RGT Yan development. According to Splash247, the engineering work will support progression towards a final investment decision. The final regasification terminal configuration will be selected after the FEED evaluation, per the report. Watch for the FID decision.
