Our Business

With the most modern and technologically advanced fleet on the water, decades of experience as an innovator and leader in the LNG industry, and a strong emphasis on technological development and operational excellence, Höegh LNG is uniquely well positioned to provide the crucial energy infrastructure necessary to access the readily available supply of LNG in the global marketplace.

FSRUs have quickly established themselves as the preferred means of unlocking access to the global LNG trade, with multiple clear advantages over a traditional onshore import terminal:

• Half the time to implement
• Half the cost
• Less risk of cost overruns, as a significant portion of construction occurs within a highly specialized shipyard at a fixed price and delivery window
• Superior environmental impact profile
• Flexibility to relocate the FSRU or use it as an LNG Carrier

The standard regasification capacity for the current HLNG FSRU design is 500 mmscf/day baseload and 750 mmscf/day peak capacities. For project specific designs this can be increased, depending on the customer’s requirements.

Improved fuel consumption is achieved with DFDE machinery and by using re-condensers in each regas train for boil-off gas handling. The re-condenser handles excess boil-off and condenses it back to the LNG tanks, resulting in significant cost savings when operating in open loop mode. A minimum send-out of approximately 100 mmscf/day is required to get full capacity for the re-condenser.

Höegh LNG’s proposed FSRU offers extended dry-docking regimes, which allows operation on site for up to 20 years. This means no dry-docking is required for the first 20 years of the proposed project terms, where maintenance work and class renewals will be done afloat on site.
