Avenir LNG is in talks to supply one or more dedicated bunkering vessels to support Arctic expedition cruiseships.

A source with insight into the small LNG specialist's plans said any such ships would represent an extension of Avenir's series of 7,500-cbm LNG vessels being built at Nantong CIMC Sinopacific Offshore & Engineering (CIMC SOE), but with high ice-class specifications and delivery expected in 2021.
