The offshore terminals will be designed to import regasified LNG from dedicated STL-moored LNG carriers to a pipeline grid onshore.

Hoegh LNG has a long-term strategy to develop floating LNG regasification solutions using shipboard STL connectors.

The technology has proved suitable for Hoegh's LNG shuttle and regasification vessels.

Earlier this year the company ordered two vessels with an option for one more.

Hoegh wants to secure the right to have delivered APL's STL technology for future deep-water port projects.
