Shipowner BW LNG has tied up its second speculatively-ordered LNG carrier newbuilding on a long-term charter with China's ENN Energy.

Brokers report that one of the two 2022-delivering newbuildings that the company has on order has been fixed ex-yard.

Reports on the term period on the business vary, but the vessel is thought to have been fixed for at least eight years, with options to extend the hire period.
