H-Energy takes delivery of Höegh Giant FSRU

H-Energy has taken delivery of India’s first floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU), berthed at its Jaigarh LNG terminal in Maharashtra on India’s west coast.

The company says testing and commissioning of the six-million tonne/year (~750 MMcfd) unit will start “soon.”

Natural gas will travel via the 56-km Jaigarh-Dabhol pipeline to the national grid. Truck loading and transfer to smaller LNG carriers for bunkering or further shipment will also be available.

The 2017-built FSRU Höegh Giant was modified at Keppel Shipyard, Singapore, after completing a charter with Naturgy Energy Group SA as an LNG carrier. The vessel has 170,000 cu m of storage.

H-Energy chartered it for ten years.

India plans to increase natural gas’s share of its energy mix to 15% by 2030 from the current 6%.
