John Fredriksen’s Flex LNG fixes two-year charter extension with oil major BP

John Fredriksen-backed Flex LNG has announced that the “supermajor” charterer of the Flex Courageous has exercised its first extension option.

The 173,400-cbm Flex Courageous (built 2019) was fixed on a three-year time charter on 1 November 2021, but this will be extended for another two years, the Oslo-listed company said.

In January, sister ship the Flex Resolute (built 2020) also had its charter extended by two years until 2027.
