Charterers are swooping on modern LNG carrier tonnage to fix vessels for multi-year periods as they try to lock in coverage and take control of shipping for the longer term.
Brokers reported that Maria Angelicoussis-controlled Maran Gas Maritime has fixed three vessels on seven-year deals.
The Greek owner is said to have tied up its 174,000-cbm newbuilding Maran Gas Ithaca, which is due for delivery in mid-2022 to German trader Uniper.
