H-Energy agrees FSRU contract with Höegh

Höegh LNG Holdings floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) Höegh Giant is to be deployed to H-Energy’s LNG regasification terminal project located at Jaigarh Port in Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra, India, under a 10-year agreement.

The 2017 built vessel has a storage capacity of 170,000 cm and has a peak regasification capacity of 750mn cf/d (approximately 6mn t/y). The FSRU will deliver regasified LNG to the 56 km Jaigarh-Dabhol pipeline connecting to the national gas grid and will also deliver LNG onshore for LNG truck loading facilities. It is also capable of reloading LNG onto other LNG vessel’s for providing bunkering services.

H-Energy will commission its Jaigarh LNG regasification terminal project in March 2021, upon the delivery of the FSRU. It will be India’s first FSRU-based LNG regasification terminal.

H-Energy’s Jaigarh LNG terminal is also constructing truck loading facilities to deliver LNG through trucks to its customers. The company further plans to develop L-CNG stations across India to increase uptake of LNG and CNG as a transport fuel.
