Norway's Bergen Tankers is to convert one of its small bunker tankers into an LNG bunker vessel (LNGBV) after winning a long-term charter from Shell-controlled Gasnor.

The 850-dwt Oslo Tank (built 2010) is to go into a Norwegian shipyard in March 2020 for the conversion job and is due to re-emerge in September next year, officials at Bergen Tankers told TradeWinds.
