The tugs will be deployed on initial 10-year charters to support Smit Lamnalco’s contract to assist the berthing and unberthing of LNG carriers at new export facilities being developed in Papua New Guinea by the Exxon Mobil-led consortium, Papua New Guinea LNG. The charters have options to extend to 25 years.
The tugs will be built at Cheoy Lee's Hin Lee Shipyard in the Pearl River Delta. Delivery of the first two is scheduled for October and November 2013 with the remaining two following in January and February 2014.
