Saudi Arabian interests pursuing the country’s first LNG carriers are sifting through initial bids from shipowners on up to 12 vessels.
TradeWinds understands that a pre-qualification exercise being handled by shipbrokers and consultants Poten & Partners — on behalf of domestic energy giant Saudi Aramco and its shipping arm, Bahri — has closed.
One source following the process said the net had been “cast quite widely” among LNG shipowners, large and small.
