Dynagas to focus FSRU efforts on newbuildings

Greek shipowner Dynagas is concentrating its efforts to enter the LNG floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) sector on newbuildings rather than carrier conversions.

Speaking in a results briefing for listed Dynagas LNG Partners, chief executive Tony Lauritzen said it had been looking to convert its 150,000-cbm LNG carrier Clean Energy (built 2007) into an FSRU but had since secured a long-term charter on the vessel with Gazprom Marketing & Trading that did not require any capital expenditure.
