Norway's Hoegh LNG posted a profit for the final quarter of 2016 thanks largely to a lack of impairments and increased income.

Hoegh posted a fourth quarter profit of $828,000, recovering from 2015's fourth quarter loss of nearly $33 million when results were hit by a $37 million impairment.

Also helping keep Hoegh in the black in the recent quarter was an increase in total income from nearly $58.7
