US LNG producer Cheniere Energy is being linked to a slew of LNG carrier fixtures, raising hopes that firming charter rates may strengthen further over the winter period.
Brokers report that Cheniere, which is understood to have floated initial enquiries for two existing LNG carriers and two newbuildings for a mix of hire periods, appears to have taken at least seven LNG ships on charter, although the details have yet to be clarified fully.
