Norway’s Hoegh LNG and Japan’s Mitsui O.S.K. Lines together have agreed to purchase two onboard regasification vessels from South Korea’s Samsung Heavy Industries, and may order a third ship as well. Suez Energy will use the vessels on a long-term charter to transport LNG to its planned Neptune LNG facility offshore Boston. Hoegh says that there “will always be one ship at the [Neptune] terminal to provide constant flow of gas.” Details of the deal are in yesterday’s Platts LNG Daily. [Subscription required]
