FSRU CASE STUDIES: Delivering Global Energy

Delivering Energy Infrastructure with Speed, Agility, and Proven Expertise

Energos Infrastructure develops and executes complex LNG marine projects with a level of speed, precision, and collaborative discipline that sets a new standard for the industry. Drawing on a team with decades of operational experience, a modern and diverse FSRU and LNG carrier fleet, and an organization deeply rooted in global LNG marine operations, Energos delivers solutions that are both technically robust and commercially responsive.

Our project approach is built on three core principles:

  • Speed and Agility of Deployment – Rapid mobilization, accelerated readiness, and streamlined project delivery, even in high-pressure environments.
  • Collaborative Partnership – Close alignment with government, industry, and commercial partners to ensure operational certainty and long-term value creation.
  • Operational Excellence – A safety-first culture, rigorous marine standards, and proven expertise in LNG import, regasification, and floating infrastructure.

This combination positions Energos as the partner of choice for nations and companies seeking reliable, flexible, and scalable LNG solutions.

Energos in Egypt – A Landmark Collaboration in Energy Security

Energos’s recent work in Egypt represents one of the fastest and most impactful FSRU deployment programs in global LNG history—delivered in direct partnership with EGAS and supported by senior leadership across the Egyptian and U.S. governments.

Accelerated LNG Delivery and Regasification
Energos deployed four FSRUs—Eskimo, Power, Force, and Winter—in just three months, significantly expanding Egypt’s regasification capacity and establishing a new benchmark for speed and operational readiness.

Strengthening Egypt’s Energy Security
With these units in operation, Energos infrastructure now supports approximately 35% of Egypt’s natural gas demand, providing critical stability to the national energy system during a period of heightened supply needs.
