Teekay LNG says it has teamed up with a Chinese partner to pen the vessels via a joint venture.

Chief executive Peter Evensen said: “Upon finalization of the contracts, these six icebreaker LNG carriers will further complement Teekay LNG's existing pipeline of growth projects scheduled to deliver between 2014 and 2018, which includes 11 LPG carrier newbuildings, through our Exmar LPG joint venture, and five MEGI LNG carrier newbuildings."
