US producer Cheniere Energy is in talks with three shipowners for an LNG carrier to take on time charter.
TradeWinds understands Cheniere has shortlisted TMS Cardiff Gas, GasLog and Dynagas to continue discussions over a possible seven-year deal.
Other industry players who are aware of the business say they are unclear as to whether Cheniere plans to conclude anything firm and suggest it could just be a test of the market.
