Key Ideas
- Significant strategic shift from traditional LNG to clean energy infrastructure and hybrid FSRUs.
- Development of revenue streams in CCS, ammonia, and hydrogen fields positions the company for future energy trends.
- Successful delisting from Oslo Stock Exchange and privatization of Höegh LNG Partners LP demonstrate effective portfolio optimization.

Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners (MSIP) has reached an agreement to sell its 50% stake in Larus Holding, the owner of Höegh Evi, to Igneo Infrastructure Partners. The Höegh Family will maintain their 50% ownership through Aequitas. Höegh Evi, a prominent operator of Floating Storage and Regasification Units (FSRUs) and LNG Carrier vessels, has strategically realigned towards clean energy infrastructure. The company is focusing on developing floating solutions for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), ammonia, and hydrogen segments, with plans to convert to hybrid FSRUs by 2028. Noteworthy transactions include the delisting from the Oslo Stock Exchange in May 2021 and the privatization of Höegh LNG Partners LP from NYSE in September 2022. This move towards clean energy infrastructure and the development of new revenue streams in CCS, ammonia, and hydrogen showcase Höegh Evi's strategic foresight for upcoming energy transitions. The planned conversion to hybrid FSRUs by 2028 aligns the company with evolving energy markets. The successful delisting and privatization indicate efficient portfolio optimization. While the deal value remains undisclosed, the transaction with Igneo Infrastructure Partners is likely a profitable exit, reflecting the company's strengthened strategic position and expanded capabilities in emerging energy sectors.
