Nigeria LNG (NLGN) plans to look at their shipping needs as it readies to add a new train and customer contracts for existing cargoes roll off.

NLNG, the second largest producer of LNG in Africa at 22 million tonnes behind Algeria's Sonatrach, is also a ship owner and operator with a fleet of 23 LNG carriers.

In addition to 13 owned and operated, it has chartered in eight ships from BW Gas and two from Japan's NYK.
