Cape Plc. said it has received a letter of intent from STP & I Co. Ltd. for the erection and provision of access services for the Pluto LNG Project.

The company said over the past 30 years it has secured access service contracts on more than 50 percent of all new LNG projects worldwide including a number of major projects on the North West shelf of Australia.

The project is scheduled to start production in 2010, the international provider of essential support services to the energy and natural resources sectors said.

Martin May, chief executive of Cape, said: "The award of this contract is particularly pleasing in light of the recent acquisitions within Australia. In terms of scale this contract would be almost as significant on a man-hour basis as Sakhalin LNG 2."
