Höegh LNG becomes Höegh EVI. The name change reflects the company’s intention to become a leading provider of liquefied natural gas transshipment.
Höegh already played an important role when Germany had to switch its energy supply following Russia’s attack on Ukraine. The “Hoegh Esperanza” was chartered for the first floating LNG terminal in Wilhelmshaven. The “Hoegh Gannet” moored at the second terminal in Brunsbüttel a few weeks later.
LNG has been the focus so far; the company operates one of the world’s largest fleets of FSRUs and LNG tankers. In the future, however, new energy sources such as ammonia and hydrogen as well as the transportation and storage of carbons (CCS) are to be added. Höegh wants to position itself as a leading provider in liquefied gas handling and the development of maritime infrastructure. The new name is intended to reflect this.
Höegh EVI wants to expand its portfolio
EVI stands for “Energy Vector Infrastructure”. According to the company, it intends to develop and build innovative maritime infrastructures such as floating ammonia and H2 import terminals, ammonia cracking technologies and CCS applications.
“The Höegh EVI team at sea and on land is looking forward to working together to develop clean and efficient solutions that will benefit people and the planet in the future,” says Morten W. Høegh, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Höegh EVI.
