Shipowners with LNG newbuildings contracted at Hyundai Heavy Industries against term time charters with energy major Shell are set to ink up to six LNG carrier newbuildings worth just over $1bn in total as they firm up existing optional berths.
TradeWinds understands that six firm vessels are to be added to the eight LNG newbuildings already confirmed at HHI and Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries by three shipowners at the end of last year.
