KN, formerly known as Klaipedos Nafta, is tendering for a transport service for those traders that might want it to bridge the gap of around a year until the handover of the 7,500-cbm vessel that will undertake the shipments from the FSRU Independence (built 2014).

The company’s LNG department director, Tadas Matulionis, said: “We are in active consultations with numerous players on local shipment alternatives.”
