Golar LNG - New LNG Carrier Contract
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Golar LNG Limited ("Golar" or the "Company") announced today that it has
executed a time charter for one of its modern LNG carriers, the Golar Arctic, to
a major Japanese trading company for a firm period of 3 years.
The charter is expected to commence in March 2012 following the end of the
vessel's current charter. The annualised EBITDA contribution from the
commencement of this new charter is expected to be approximately $45 million,
which represents attractive returns for shareholders and is a positive indicator
of the current market for LNG shipping.
Golar's Chairman, John Fredriksen said in a comment "The limited availability of
LNG shipping in the market is creating excellent chartering opportunities for
our open vessel positions. We anticipate that the market will remain strong for
some time to come and therefore we are extremely optimistic about the on-going
performance of the existing fleet and our investment in newbuild carriers.
Golar has multiple open positions extending from present out into 2014 which
creates a solid basis for aggressive future growth of our Company."
