At least 30 LNG carrier newbuildings were ordered in the first half of 2021, in a market that is seeing rising gas demand and an increasing number of dual-fuelled ships ordered.
Of the 30 ships reported ordered by TradeWinds — and logged by those following this sector — almost all were confirmed against contracts with major charterers including French major TotalEnergies, US producer and trader Cheniere, Malaysian giant Petronas and Spanish utility Repsol.
