This charter (including options) increases Avenir’s overall vessel charter revenues backlog to US$81.0 million as of 1 December 2021. The vessel will be equipped with boil-off gas (BOG) reliquefication and simultaneous operations (SIMOPs) capabilities, making the vessel one of the world’s largest, most efficient and versatile LNG bunker supply vessels.
Commenting on the deal, Peter Mackey, CEO of Avenir LNG Limited, said “We are delighted to have executed this agreement with Shell for the Avenir Achievement and to play an important role in expanding Shell’s LNG bunkering capabilities. This deal marks another major achievement in Avenir’s development as we fix the last vessel in our current new-building programme. We are thrilled to welcome a world-class organisation like Shell as the latest customer for Avenir LNG.”
