The Neptune Project

Höegh LNG and Suez LNG North America have designed a deep water port (DWP) Project for the delivery and regasification of LNG 10 miles off the coast of Massachusetts to meet New England’s growing demand for natural gas, using SRV-technology that is safe, reliable, and environmentally sound.

Neptune consists of 2 SRV's, an offshore terminal with 2 buoys, and associated pipelines to shore. A DWP license permit from US federal authorities was received March 2007.

In order to meet the project start-up of 2009 4th Q, Höegh and its partner MOL placed an order for 2 SRV's at Samsung Heavy Industries in Korea in April 2006. These vessels are the most advanced of its kind, and will be able to meet the most stringent environmental conditions in the world.
