Hoegh sees scope for LNG carriers in rising market

Norway’s Hoegh LNG will consider making a play in the LNG carrier sector again, for certain types of business.

Speaking on the sidelines of the Gastech meeting in Barcelona, company president and chief executive Sveinung Stohle told TradeWinds that the market is rising and there is a large amount of new LNG coming onstream.

He said that if Hoegh LNG can team up with some of the partners it already does business with or some of the new projects which have good credit then it could participate in building LNG carriers.
