Hoegh to supply FSRU for first LNG import project in Australia

Norwegian floater specialist Hoegh LNG is to supply the floating storage and regasification unit for what is expected to be Australia’s first liquefied natural gas import project, writes Amanda Battersby.

Australian Industrial Energy (AIE) will deploy the FSRU at Port Kembla in New South Wales. Natural gas will be delivered to customers in that state and neighbouring Victoria.

The leased FSRU is expected to start commercial operations in the first quarter of 2020.
