Summary
In 2024, Egypt was facing energy shortages and an acute need for natural gas. Cooperation and fast action led to the solution of a temporary deployment of the FSRU Hoegh Galleon, which will serve the immediate need for LNG before moving to its permanent location in Port Kembla, Australia.
Challenge
Rising energy demand in Egypt coupled with domestic natural gas supply constraints, geo political instability in the region and record breaking temperatures for the summer 24, has led to a pressing need for additional natural gas and a rapid and flexible solution to increase LNG imports.
Solution
Within months, the FSRU Hoegh Galleon, with potential to deliver up to 7.5 bcm/annum in gas capacity, was deployed to Ain Sokhna, Egypt. The Galleon will be in Egypt on a temporary basis, until the completion of the Port Kembla terminal in Australia, where the FSRU will be deployed long-term.
