A joint venture of Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL) has entered into a charter agreement to provide two new LNG carriers to E.ON Global Commodities (EGC), and the newbuildings will be constructed at Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME).

The two membrane-type 179,900 cu m LNG carriers will start their charter period from 2018 for 20 years.

MOL will manage the two new ships, which will transport LNG from a shale gas liquefying plant in North America to Europe and other destinations globally.
