BigLift Shipping and Chung Yang Shipping are joining forces to help the energy sector moves its wares around on the open sea.

The two companies have agreed to provide two heavy transport ships each to the LNG, oil, gas and renewable markets in a partnership in which BigLift would commercially run the four rigs.

Amsterdam-based BigLift will provide 20,200-dwt sister ships BigLift Barentsz and BigLift Baffin (both built 2016).
