Posted by Eric Haun November 21, 2014

A new Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) will be built by the Korean shipbuilding Company Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI). This FSRU will be the fifth in the series at HHI and the seventh in total owned by the Norwegian Company Höegh LNG.

Gaztransport & Technigaz (GTT), a designer of membrane containment systems for the maritime transportation and storage of liquefied natural gas (LNGLF) (LNG), announced it has received an order to supply membrane technologies for the FSRU.

The regasification unit is expected to be delivered in 2017 and will be built with Mark III technology. The cargo tanks will be equipped with an optimized containment system configuration to allow all partial filling ability.
