LNG

Jan 21 (LNGJ) - Greek company Probunkers said it had agreed terms with Hyundai Mipo Dockyard of South Korea for the construction of two LNG bunkering vessels, each with 7,600 cubic metres of capacity.

   The accord in the form of a letter of intent came after a long process during which the Greek firm’s technical team reviewed more than 30 ship design proposals. Probunkers said the initial agreement with the Korean yard underlined its aim of bringing quality and reliability to customers.

Greek shipping company Arista and its partners are planning to place an order in China for 20 bulk carriers to be powered by LNG as part of a joint development programme also involving companies such as Royal Dutch Shell and the American Bureau of Shipping.
