Oslo-listed LNG FSRU specialist Höegh LNG has appointed Erik Nyheim as the new President & CEO, effective from mid-August this year.

He will bring important and relevant experience for the role as President & CEO, enabling us to successfully realize our vision of enabling the transition to clean energy."

Erik Nyheim added: "It is a great honor to be appointed as the next President & CEO of Höegh LNG. I am impressed by how the company has developed to become the world's leading owner and operator of FSRUs and look forward to leading the next phase of the company's development in a period when the security of supply and energy transition is high on the agenda. I am excited about getting to know the business and all its people when I join later in the summer."
