Total has netted a third LNG ­carrier in a multi-year charter deal with Greek shipowner Maran Gas Maritime.

TradeWinds understands Maran Gas has firmed up a newbuilding at South Korea’s Samsung Heavy Industries on the back of the ­business.

The John Angelicoussis-­controlled company, in which his daughter Maria Angelicoussis is now playing a lead role, contracted ships at the yard in December relating to the Total-led Mozambique LNG project business.
