Maria Angelicoussis-led Maran Gas Maritime is sitting on a pair of optional LNG carrier newbuilding slots that it needs to make a decision on before the end of 2022.

Newbuilding sources said the company has two berths on hold at South Korea’s Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering where the Angelicoussis Group orders the bulk of its tonnage.

One implied the signs were looking positive and that Maran Gas will confirm the orders.
