Höegh Evi and PETROS to develop LNG terminal in Sarawak, Malaysia

The project is expected to contribute to Sarawak’s energy security, support growing energy demand, and enable the development of new industries in Kuching. The LNG terminal will be a key catalyst for KLCH’s development by supplying natural gas for power generation in Kuching.

Under the agreement, PETROS and Höegh Evi will jointly develop, own, and operate the Kuching LNG terminal, comprising a FSRU, mooring infrastructure, subsea and onshore pipelines, and onshore receiving facilities.

The partnership brings together PETROS’ role as the Master Developer of KLCH, driving the development of an energy and infrastructure ecosystem that will support Sarawak’s next phase of growth, with Höegh Evi’s experience as owner, developer, and operator of FSRUs and maritime energy infrastructure.

Erik Nyheim, CEO in Höegh Evi, commented: “Höegh Evi is proud to work with PETROS as development partner in the Kuching LNG terminal, a testament to our proven track record delivering floating LNG infrastructure projects. We are committed to supporting Sarawak’s evolving infrastructure needs and enabling long-term growth in the region.”

The project is being developed with the aim of delivering its first gas by end of 2029, with PETROS and Höegh Evi continuing to assess opportunities to accelerate delivery in line with growing demand. The LNG terminal will support Sarawak’s evolving energy needs and provide a range of services, including small scale LNG distribution, truck loading, bunkering, storage, and reloading activities.

Both companies will also explore opportunities for knowledge sharing, training, and skills development to strengthen local capabilities to support Sarawak’s long-term energy development.
