In October last year, CIMC SOE announced that it had secured new orders from Purus and GSX Energy to build LNG bunkering and supply vessels.
The Chinese shipbuilder will construct two 20,000-cbm LNG bunkering vessels for GSX Energy.
This contract also included two optional vessels.
Most recently, CIMC SOE announced orders for two 20,000-cbm and one 18,900-cbm LNG bunkering and supply vessels, without naming the clients.
According to CIMC SOE, to date, it has secured 10 orders for 20,000-cbm LNG bunkering vessels and three orders for 18,900-cbm bunkering vessels.
