John Fredriksen-controlled Flex LNG is taking an open approach to its chartering strategy as it markets its nine open newbuildings.

Chief executive Oystein Kalleklev, who spoke to TradeWinds at the LNG2019 meeting in Shanghai, said the company sees there are three uncommitted LNG newbuildings delivering this year of which Flex controls two of them.

Kalleklev said the company has no set chartering formula for its vessels.
