Greece’s Latsis shipping group has set up a separate company that will apparently serve as a vehicle for its fledgling presence in the LNG sector.

Latsco LNG Marine Management Inc obtained a licence to set up a shipmanagement office in Greece last month.

The office of the Marshall Islands-based outfit resides in Latsis’ corporate headquarters in Athens and is headed by senior group managers George Margaronis and Konstantinos Vlachos.
