Höegh LNG to sell off FSRU

Norway
Norwegian company Höegh LNG announced on Thursday that it would sell its Höegh Gallant floating storage and regasification unit to its wholly owned subsidiary Höegh LNG Partners in a $370-million deal.

The transaction, which is slated for completion by the end of September, will be financed through a $47-million seller’s credit due in 18 months, as well as a $140-million demand note cancellation from the parent company. The $183-million debt on the Höegh Gallant will remain outstanding.

“Höegh LNG has a strong pipeline of drop-down candidates, making Höegh LNG Partners a robust vehicle for funding our floating storage and regasification unit expansion already under way,” Sveinung J.S. Stohle, president and CEO of Höegh LNG said in a company press release.

The Höegh Gallant has been under a five-year contract with the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company at the Ein Sokhna port since April 2015.
