BP has let a contract to Tristar Group, Dubai, to provide a variety of LNG shipping services comprising trading and delivery capacity worldwide.
The 4-year deal, valued at $24 million, follows the recent addition to Tristar’s shipping fleet of its first LNG tanker, Tristar Ruby.
Tristar Ruby, formerly the British Ruby, joins Tristar’s fleet of 30 ocean-going tankers. The vessel, commercially operated by Tristar, was built by Hyundai Heavy Industries in 2008 and has a cargo carriage capacity of 155,000 cu m.
