Sovcomflot (SCF Group) has inked a deal with Rosneft to take technical supervision of a series of LNG fueled aframax tankers.

The 114,000-dwt tankers were placed at Hyundai Heavy Industries in 2017 with the supervision deal signed at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum today.

In a statement, the Russian shipowner said the agreement was an important step in its cooperation with Rosneft.
