Swiss energy company MET Group has ordered its first LNG carrier after forging a joint venture deal with Danish shipowner Celsius.
MET said the partnership involves a newbuilding that will be constructed at China Merchants Heavy Industry Jiangsu (CMHI Jiangsu) for delivery in 2027 to support its growing LNG activities.
Chief executive Benjamin Lakatos said: “At MET we believe LNG will play an important role in the European energy transition.”
