ECOnnect Energy lands contract to supply LNG transfer solution to Puerto Bahía terminal in Colombia in International Shipping News 19/06/2026 Norway’s ECOnnect Energy has signed an agreement with Sociedad Portuaria Puerto Bahía S.A., a majority-owned subsidiary of Canada’s Frontera Energy Corp., to deliver its IQuay™ F-Class jettyless transfer system for Puerto Bahía´s fast-tracked LNG import terminal in Cartagena Bay, Colombia. The project will combine ECOnnect Energy’s proprietary F-Class transfer technology with a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) establishing a new LNG import gateway. The terminal is designed to support Colombia’s growing energy demand and strengthen national energy security during periods of low hydropower supply. First gas is targeted for early 2027, making prompt readiness a key priority for the project. According to Puerto Bahía, ECOnnect Energy was selected based on its track record in fast-track LNG developments. Located in Cartagena Bay, Puerto Bahía is being developed as Colombia’s second LNG import terminal on the Caribbean coast. The project is expected to complement existing infrastructure while increasing supply resilience and import flexibility at a time when LNG is becoming increasingly important to Colombia’s evolving energy landscape.

By reducing offshore construction scope and limiting marine intervention, the solution is designed to support faster and more flexible deployment of LNG infrastructure. “We see that many countries increasingly need energy infrastructure that can be deployed faster, with lower environmental impact and provide greater operational flexibility,” said Morten Christophersen, CEO at ECOnnect Energy. “Puer
