- Hegh Evi signed a 10-year charter with EGAS to deploy the converted FSRU Hoegh Gandria at Egypt's Port of Sumed in Q4 2026.

- Seatrium will promptly initiate the conversion work, which includes installing the regasification skid and integrating essential support systems such as those for cargo management, utilities, offloading operations, electrical infrastructure, and automation.
- The FSRU Hoegh Gandria, scheduled to be deployed in late 2026, will take over from the temporary FSRU Hoegh Galleon, which has been in service since July 2024, and will provide a maximum LNG regasification throughput of up to 1 billion standard cubic feet daily.
- This deployment supports Egypt's need for flexible LNG infrastructure amid declining domestic production and marks a strategic shift to importing LNG to meet rising energy demands.
