LNG

June 29 (LNGJ) - Mitsui OSK Lines, the Japanese shipping company, said it signed long-term charter contracts to provide four LNG carriers, each with capacity of 174,000 cubic metres, to the Yamal LNG project in Arctic Russia from 2019. The four contracted carriers will transport LNG trans-shipped by the project to and from Western Europe. “While demand for LNG transport will greatly grow, by leveraging experience and know-how as owners of one of the world's largest LNG carrier fleets, the MOL Group continually takes a proactive stance in meeting customer needs,” the company said.
