About INDEPENDENCE

FSRU Independence, delivered in March 2014 is a LNG carrier designed as a floating LNG storage and regasification unit (FSRU) owned by KN Energies (previously owned by Höegh Evi) to be used as a LNG import terminal in Lithuania. The vessel can store 170,000 m3 (6,000,000 cu ft) of natural gas and can supply all of Lithuania's need for natural gas. The vessel started operating in the autumn of 2014. Built by Hyundai in South Korea, it arrived at Klaipėda on 27 October 2014, after a five-month cruise. Charterer KN Energies has made a decision to purchase the FSRU from its owner Leif Höegh & Co no later than December 2024 which marks the end of 10-year term lease agreement executed between the parties.
