Teekay LNG Partners, completed its Shell-chartered quartet with the delivery of the ‘Pan Africa’. The LNG newbuilding, Pan Africa, is the fourth and final ‘Pan’ vessel joining the TGP fleet, alongside Pan Asia (2017) and Pan Americas (2018), and Pan Europe (2018).
Specifically, the partnership’s 20%-owned joint venture with China LNG Shipping, CETS Investment Management and BW LNG Investments, took delivery of the 174,000-cbm LNG carrier newbuild in January.
During the delivery, the Pan Africa began its 20-year charter contract with Shell.
The vessels, with TGP ownership of between 20-30 percent, operate under 20-year time charters for Shell.
The first tri-fuel diesel electric LNG carrier ‘Pan Asia‘ completed sea trials on June 2017.
