Qatar calls in shipyards on plans for 80 LNG carriers

Middle East producer Qatar is calling in shipyards for a series of face-to-face meetings about its 80-ship LNG carrier newbuilding programme as it homes in on berth slots.

TradeWinds understands shipbuilders have been going through a written clarification process with LNG producer Qatargas and its associates over the past few months.

Yard representatives are due to head to Doha this month for final clarification sessions on the vessels.
