Wärtsilä Gas Solutions, part of technology group - Wärtsilä, has been contracted to supply a regasification module for Höegh Evi, a pioneer in marine energy infrastructure.
The module will be installed onboard the LNG carrier Hoegh Gandria to convert the vessel to a high-capacity floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU). The order, booked by Wärtsilä in Q1 2025, further strengthens Wärtsilä’s market-pioneering position in LNG regasification systems.

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.
"We are very familiar with Wärtsilä’s regasification solutions and appreciate their quality and reliability. This vessel will act as a floating import terminal and will play an important role in supporting Egypt’s diversified energy system. Given the critical nature of the project, we needed a partner with proven technology and a highly efficient solution. Wärtsilä fully met all our requirements," comments Øivin Iversen, Chief of Projects in Höegh Evi.
