The FSRU will be deployed at H-Energy s LNG regasification terminal project, located at Jaigarh Port in Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra, India.Built in 2017, Hoegh Giant has a storage capacity of 170,000 m~3 and has a peak regasification capacity of 750 mmscfd (about 6.0 mta). The FSRU will deliver regasified LNG to the 56 km Jaigarh-Dabhol pipeline connecting to the National Gas grid and will also deliver LNG onshore for LNG truck loading facilities. The FSRU is also capable of reloading LNG onto other LNG vessels to provide bunkering services.
