Tsakos Energy Navigation (TEN) has agreed charters for its two LNG carriers and reiterated its interest in expanding in this sector.

The US-listed shipowner said it had fixed the 150,000-cbm Neo Energy (built 2007) and the 174,000-cbm Maria Energy (built 2016).

The charters are for an aggregate period of 36 months to “significant international energy concerns” but the terms of the respective deals were not disclosed.
