According to a statement by NFE on Tuesday, the charter is for three years.
NFE said Energos Freeze will be deployed to Energia 2000’s LNG import terminal located at the port of Pepillo Salcedo (Manzanillo).
Also, the unit is expected to start operations in September 2025.
The FSRU will provide “critical” LNG regasification services to support power generation and industrial energy demand across the region.
NFE did not provide further information regarding the agreement.
“This charter agreement reflects our continued commitment to expanding energy access in the Caribbean through strategic partnerships and world-class LNG infrastructure,” said Wes Edens, chairman and CEO of NFE.
Energos Freeze, previously known as Golar Freeze, was converted from an LNG carrier into a floating storage and regasification unit.
Apollo’s Energos Infrastructure owns Energos Freeze, meaning that NFE sub-chartered the unit to Energia 2000.
NFE and Apollo formed their $2 billion joint venture, Energos Infrastructure, in August 2022.
However, in February last year, NFE completed the sale of its 20 percent equity interest in Energos Infrastructure to funds managed by compatriot asset manager Apollo.
