An MOL-controlled LNG carrier has been selected to serve as the floating storage unit for Swan Energy’s import project in India, where the Japanese shipowner is a shareholder.

Brokers said the 137,661-cbm Dukhan (built 2004), a Moss-type vessel, has been fixed to Swan Energy for 19 years. No rate was given for the deal.

The vessel, which was constructed at Japan’s Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding Co, has been on long-term charter to Qatargas.
