Issue 298 - 17 Apr 2015 | 1 minute read

The 550mcf/d Höegh Gallant floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) has been installed by Norway’s Höegh at Ain Sokhna, on the Red Sea, and a first delivery of liquefied natural gas (LNG) has arrived from Qatar. The Höegh Gallant has been leased to Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (Egas) for a five-year period. Höegh LNG formally signed a five-year contract with Egas for the vessel at the beginning of November. Egas plans to install a second FSRU at Ain Sokhna later this year, but details have yet to be revealed.
