Wärtsilä Gas Solutions, a division of Wärtsilä Corporation, has secured a contract to supply a regasification module for Höegh Evi, a marine energy infrastructure company, according to the company's release.

The module will be installed on the LNG carrier Hoegh Gandria, converting it into a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU).

The order was booked in Q1 2025, and delivery is scheduled for Q2 2026, with the conversion completion expected in Q4 2026.  

The converted Hoegh Gandria will operate in the port of Sumed, Egypt, supplying the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company with a peak LNG regasification capacity of up to 1,000 mmscf/day.
