A deadline for firming up 17 LNG carrier newbuilding berths for the TotalEnergies-led Mozambique LNG project has been pushed back to the end of 2022 amid increasing pressure from independent shipowners for newbuilding berths.
Shipbuilding sources said the delivery dates on the berths, which are split between two yards — nine slots at Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries and eight at Samsung Heavy Industries — are now firmly into 2025, with six vessels at each yard now scheduled for handover that year.
