John Angelicoussis-led Maran Gas Maritime is moving in on two LNG carrier newbuildings at the company’s favoured shipyard in South Korea.
Industry sources say an order is not imminent but add that they expect Maran to ink contracts on the vessels before the end of the year.
Angelicoussis has made a point of supporting DSME, particularly during financially challenging periods for the yard, and has rolling options with the shipbuilder.
