John Fredriksen’s Flex LNG has found work for its first newbuilding at the same time as securing funding for three new vessels.
Uniper Global Commodities has taken the 173,400-cbm vessel from delivery in January for a period of 15 to 18 months.
Jonathan Cook, chief executive of Flex, says: “The deal will provide Flex LNG with full utilization of the vessel from day one without idle time or costs normally associated with the maiden voyage for a newbuild LNG carrier.”
