A pairing of two shipowners and a single owning company are being lined up to share the next batch of Arc7 LNG newbuildings for Russia’s Arctic production.
Industry sources said up to six newbuildings and a similar number of optional vessels that are due to be signed at DSME will be shared between Russian owner Sovcomflot (SCF Group) and a pairing of Japan’s Mitsui OSK Lines with its long-standing partner on LNG tonnage, China Cosco Shipping.
