Shell launches hunt for US and Caribbean LNG bunker vessels

Energy major Shell has asked for offers on three LNG bunker vessels (LNGBVs) to serve in US waters and the Caribbean.

Industry sources said Shell has put out a request for quotations for two LNGBVs of around 7,500 cbm that would operate as Jones Act-certified ships in that they would be built locally and be able to operate in US waters.
