The agreement with Sociedad Portuaria Puerto Bah\u00eda S.A., a majority-owned subsidiary of Frontera Energy Corp., will see ECOnnect Energy deliver its IQuay F-Class system as part of a fast-tracked LNG bunkering and import infrastructure project targeting first gas in early 2027.<\/p>\n
The development is intended to strengthen Colombia\u2019s energy security and improve supply resilience during periods of low hydropower availability.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe see that many countries increasingly need energy infrastructure that can be deployed faster, with lower environmental impact and provide greater operational flexibility,\u201d said Morten Christophersen, CEO at ECOnnect Energy.<\/p>\n
Mobile infrastructure<\/strong><\/p>\n The project combines ECOnnect Energy\u2019s proprietary transfer technology with a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU), creating a new LNG import gateway on Colombia\u2019s Caribbean coast.<\/p>\n By eliminating the need for additional jetty construction, the solution is designed to reduce marine intervention, accelerate deployment and minimise the environmental footprint traditionally associated with large-scale port infrastructure projects.<\/p>\n According to Puerto Bah\u00eda, ECOnnect Energy was selected due to its experience in fast-track LNG developments.<\/p>\n The terminal is expected to complement existing energy infrastructure while supporting increasing demand for LNG and alternative fuels across Colombia\u2019s evolving energy market.<\/p>\n Puerto Bah\u00eda\u2019s deepwater location allows large LNG vessels to operate without dredging and offers connectivity to Colombia\u2019s national gas transportation system. The terminal is expected to deliver up to approximately 500 MMSCFD of LNG, supporting national energy security and import flexibility.<\/p>\n The deployment further expands ECOnnect Energy\u2019s international LNG bunkering and transfer portfolio, following projects in Norway, Mexico and Germany. The company said its technology is also compatible with future alternative fuels including ammonia, hydrogen, Bio LNG and CO\u2082.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Norway-based ECOnnect Energy has secured a contract to supply its jettyless LNG transfer system for Puerto Bah\u00eda\u2019s LNG import terminal in Cartagena Bay, Colombia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":6405,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,46,8],"tags":[40,2595,2369,265,539,2596],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-6404","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alternative-fuels-greenport","category-energy-technology-greenport","category-projects-initiatives-greenport","tag-alternative-fuels","tag-econnect-energy","tag-energy-resilience","tag-lng-bunkering","tag-port-infrastructure","tag-puerto-bahia"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6404","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6404"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6404\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6406,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6404\/revisions\/6406"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6405"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6404"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6404"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6404"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=6404"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
