Enagas-controlled Scale Gas has requested quotes from selected shipyards for an LNG bunker vessel (LNGBV) newbuilding that will operate out of Spain’s Mediterranean port of Algeciras serving ships in the local and Strait of Gibraltar markets.
Fearnley LNG Advisors managing consultant Gary Regan told TradeWinds the shortlisting process will start in late November or early December.
“We would like to have a newbuild contract in place by the end of January with a vessel on the water in mid-2023,” he said.
