    Höegh LNG (Höegh LNG Holdings Ltd.) on 15 December 2016 signed an FSRU contract with Global Energy Infrastructure Limited ("GEIL") for GEIL's LNG import project in Port Qasim near Karachi, Pakistan. The project is the first private LNG import terminal in Pakistan and will be located at the LNG zone in Port Qasim. On 29 September 2016, GEIL signed a long-term LNG supply agreement with Qatargas, Höegh LNG said in a press release.

    The charter is for a period of 20 years with two five year extension options for charterer and is expected to generate an average annual EBITDA of around USD 36 million. The contract is subject to both parties' board approval.  The construction of the terminal is planned to commence early 2017 and expected start-up is second quarter of 2018. The FSRU will be provided from Höegh LNG's portfolio of FSRUs, including units under construction, the planned conversion FSRU or from new FSRU's on order.

    Höegh LNG's President and Chief Executive Officer, Sveinung J. S. Støhle, said in a comment: "We are delighted to have been awarded the contract with GEIL for their new LNG import terminal in Pakistan, and look forward to completing the project together with our client and the other partners.
