Yards and equipment manufacturers are being asked to quote on a project to supply a small-scale LNG carrier and an LNG bunker vessel (LNGBV) for a project floated by Russian energy company Novatek.

Those following the project, which emerged earlier this year but on which activity has recently geared up, said Novatek is seeking a 30,000-cbm LNG carrier in combination with an LNGBV of around 10,000-cbm capacity.
