Wärtsilä has won a contract to provide the re-gasification system for a floating, storage, re-gasification unit (FSRU) conversion project, which will be performed by Norway’s Höegh liquid natural gas (LNG) vessel.

Featuring regas technology, the Wärtsilä re-gasification system uses water glycol and is 15% smaller compared to a propane-based system.
