Three gas shipowners are working together to expand Stolt-Nielsen Gas (SNG)-controlled small-scale shipping company Avenir LNG in an effort to develop the LNG bunkering and distribution sector.

TradeWinds understands that long-standing partners SNG and Golar LNG, working with the backing of Golar LNG chairman Tor Olav Troim’s Magni Partners, are being joined by Peter Livanos’ GasLog to progress the new venture.
