Novatek is set to sign contracts and reserve berths for up to 10 ice-class LNG carrier newbuildings to support planned projects in the Arctic.
Industry sources said the Russian energy company has selected Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding (Group) and South Korea’s DSME as its preferred yards.
Novatek is expected to sign contracts with DSME for at least five vessels in the next few weeks and with Hudong-Zhonghua for a similar number.
