Spanish energy company Repsol has restarted a search for an LNG bunker vessel (LNGBV).

Industry sources said the company “went quiet” over the summer on its hunt for a unit but has since renewed its discussions with shipowners.

Details on the size of the vessel and its likely use are not yet clear, but brokers said the company has previously been engaged in an earlier, now stalled project looking at LNGBVs in the 7,500-cbm to 12,000-cbm range.
