Oslo-listed Avance Gas has booked the first of its new dual-fuel VLGCs on a long-term charter.

French energy major TotalEnergies has fixed the Avance Polaris for two years on delivery in January next year.

The ship is the first in a series of six 91,000-cbm LPG-capable VLGCs being built by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) up to 2023.
