The French energy multinational TotalEnergies has declared force majeure on more contracts at its $20bn-plus liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in Cabo Delgado province, in the wake of ongoing terrorist activity near the project’s construction site, two sources have told Zitamar News

Much of Cabo Delgado's business community fears bankruptcy amid uncertainty over when and how the Mozambique LNG project will ever restart

Total has not declared force majeure on its project since the attack on Palma, but contractors fear it could be a year or more before work resumes

Total pulled all its staff out of the Mozambique LNG project today, leaving the security of the mothballed project entirely in the hands of Mozambique’s defence and security forces
