Hoegh LNG Holdings and master limited partnership (MLP) Hoegh LNG Partners have traded top brass as part of Hoegh LNG's "long-term development strategy," both companies said.

Richard Tyrrell stepped down today as the MLP's chief executive and chief financial officer (CFO) to lead Hoegh LNG's group of companies as chief development officer.

At the same time, Hoegh LNG CFO Steffen Foreid resigned from Hoegh LNG Partners' board of directors to replace Tyrrell as chief executive and CFO.
