Norway’s Kanfer Shipping has confirmed orders for its first two small-scale and LNG bunker vessel (LNGBV) newbuildings at China’s Taizhou Wuzhou Shipbuilding Industry.

But the company is planning to build a much larger fleet.

The two 6,000-cbm vessels, pencilled in as letters of intent in January, are due for delivery by the second half of 2023, Kanfer said.
