Speaking to TradeWinds on the eve of a ceremony to name its first chartered LNG bunker vessel (LNGBV), Nauticor chief executive Mahinde Abeynaike said the investment and efforts his company has put into building up a team over the past six-and-a-half years shows it is not Nauticor’s ambition to remain with just one LNGBV.
