Wärtsilä to Supply Regasification Module for Egypt-Bound FSRU Conversion

Wärtsilä Gas Solutions, part of technology group Wärtsilä, has been contracted to supply a regasification module for Höegh Evi, which will be installed onboard the LNG carrier Hoegh Gandria to convert the vessel to a high-capacity floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU).

When converted, the Hoegh Gandria will be deployed in the port of Sumed, Egypt.

It will supply the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company with up to 1,000 mmscf/day of peak LNG regasification capacity, making it a critical part of Egypt’s diversified and flexible energy infrastructure.

The Wärtsilä equipment is scheduled for delivery in the second quarter of 2026, while the conversion of Hoegh Gandria is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter the same year.
