Korea Line has been unmasked as being behind an LNG bunker vessel (LNGBV) newbuilding booked at Hyundai Mipo Dockyard (HMD) after the shipowner secured a long-term charter with energy major Shell for the unit.
The KRW 71.5bn ($61.3m) order was announced by the shipyard last week without naming the owner, but sources close to the business confirmed the contracting party and charterer to TradeWinds.
