Ocean Yield’s charter backlog jumped during the summer after it acquired an interest in an LNG fleet.
“The highlight of the quarter was the announced investment into France LNG Shipping, a company which will own a fleet of 12 LNG carriers with long-term charters,” CEO Andreas Rode said in the second-quarter report.
“We are pleased to partner with NYK, Geogas LNG and Access Capital Partners in a transaction which provides further diversification of our fleet and charter backlog, with a low carbon footprint.
