TRADE-<\/p>\n

<\/strong>EGAS secures FLNG facility in 10-year pact:<\/strong> Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS) has inked a 10-year agreement with global maritime energy infrastructure player H\u00f6egh Evi<\/a> for an LNG regasification vessel, Bloomberg<\/a> reports, citing a statement it has received from the firm. The newswire says the move signals the country\u2019s \u201clong-term dependency on fuel imports.\u201d<\/p>\n

The details:<\/strong> A vessel owned by H\u00f6egh Evi \u2014 dubbed the Hoegh Gandria \u2014 will dock in the Ain Sokhna\u2019s Port of Sumed in 4Q 2026. Before then, the vessel will undergo conversion into a floating storage and regasification unit \u2014 it has been serving as an LNG carrier \u2014 with a peak daily capacity of 1 bn cubic feet of gas. The unit will replace the existing Hoegh Galleon \u2014 the single operating LNG import terminal in the country \u2014 which was delivered by H\u00f6egh Evi last year. <\/p>\n

Long-term contracts aren\u2019t what people are expecting: <\/strong>The government has long refrained from relying on long-term natural gas imports, with a government source telling us last year<\/a> that the government does not want to resort to long-term contracts despite favorable prices at the time amid hopes of new natural gas discoveries that could put Egypt once again to the global export map, along with expanding renewable capacities.<\/p>\n

Loads of regasification units:<\/strong> Egypt is in talks to lease a handful of regasification units<\/a> to cover high energy demand in the summer months, including from Germany<\/a>, Cyprus<\/a>, and Turkey<\/a>. Most recently, Oil Minister Karim Badawi met with CEO of US-based LNG solutions company Excelerate Energy Steven Kobos where they discussed leasing floating storage and regasification units to Egypt. <\/p>\n

DIGITIZATION-<\/p>\n

Oman eyes digitalization across its ports: <\/strong>Oman\u2019s Sohar Port and Freezone launched a training program with the International Port Community Systems Association (IPCSA) on port community systems (PCS) to enhance digital efficiency across Oman\u2019s ports, according to a statement<\/a>. The program will expedite the port\u2019s digital transformation, explore implementation strategies, and identify measures and challenges for digital ports\u2019 ecosystems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
