FSRUs have established themselves as the preferred mode of access to the global LNG market, with multiple clear advantages over traditional onshore import terminals.

Less capital intensive (c. 1/2 of the installation cost)
Faster to install (down to 6 months vs. 4-5 years)
Flexibility (to relocate the FSRU or use it as an LNG Carrier)
In addition to the standard FSRU setup with pipeline to shore with regasified LNG, it can serve as a hub for LNG such as:

Small-scale distribution at sea - reloading LNG to smaller carriers serving other demand centres
Small-scale distribution onshore - reloading LNG on to trucks for onwards distribution by road
Bunkering - providing LNG as marine fuel, directly or by smaller shuttles
Connectivity to shore - adaptable to local conditions by jetty or other mooring solutions
Höegh LNG has ten modern FSRUs in its fleet and is uniquely positioned to provide customers with the crucial energy infrastructure necessary to access the readily available supply of LNG in the global marketplace.
