An LNG floating storage unit (FSU) dedicated to work on a seasonal basis for Bahrain’s new LNG import facility has been relet to trader Gunvor.

Brokers said Teekay LNG’s 173,400-cbm Bahrain Spirit (built 2018) has been fixed for nine months, with an option to extend the deal by a month.

They quoted a charter rate in the mid-$50,000-per-day range.

The LNG carrier is on charter to Bahrain LNG, in which Teekay LNG holds a 30% stake.
