In two years, K Line LNG Shipping (UK) (KLNG) will expand its owned fleet with the delivery of two newbuildings contracted in partnership with an established Greek partner against term charters with an energy major.

Managing director Yuzuru Goto sealed this key deal for the London-based company last year, teaming up in a joint-venture consortium with Chandris to order a pair of LNG carrier newbuildings at DSME.
