Shipping giant NYK Line has fixed out a newly built LNG carrier with Osaka Gas International Transport.

The Japanese shipowner said it had signed a multi-year time-charter contract with the LNG transport arm of Daigas Group — formerly known as Osaka Gas Group.

NYK did not disclose details of the charter deal but said the vessel involved is the 174,000-cbm Grace Freesia, which was built by Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries and delivered in June 2022.
