Japanese shipbuilder Mitsui E&S Shipbuilding is looking to make a comeback in the LNG market.
It is hoping to construct LNG carrier newbuildings at Yangzi-Mitsui Shipbuilding — its joint venture yard in China. Mitsui E&S and Yangzijiang Shipbuilding (Holdings) announced the partnership last August.
Shinichi Hayashi, Mitsui E&S Shipbuilding’s director and managing executive officer, told TradeWinds there is good demand for LNG carriers for the Chinese inland trade.
