Hoegh LNG Partners is sending one of its FSRUs to the Caribbean for the next decade.

The New York-listed gas carrier has fixed the 170,000-cbm Hoegh Gallant (built 2014) to New Fortress Energy for work in Jamaica in a deal beginning in the fourth quarter.

"The new long-term FSRU contract entered into with New Fortress is an important development for the partnership as it extends the partnership's contract coverage and average charter length and broadens our customer base and global footprint," chief executive Sveinung Stohle said.
