NYK Line poised to take over pioneering LNGBV

NYK Line is taking over full ownership of a pioneering LNG bunker vessel (LNGBV) as interest in the sector grows.

TradeWinds understands that the Japanese shipping giant, which was one of the original partners in the 5,000-cbm Engie Zeebrugge (built 2017), is buying out its co-­investors, French energy company Engie, Belgian gas infrastructure company Fluxys and Japanese trader Mitsubishi Corp.
