Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha Ltd (“K” Line) has announced that it has signed a long-term 12-year time charter contract from 2022 with PETRONAS LNG Ltd for two newbuild LNG carriers.

The two newbuilds will engage in transportation of LNG from Malaysia (Bintulu) to Shenergy (Group) Co. Ltd from 2022 onwards. According to the statement, the contract also includes a 12-year extension option.
