George Prokopiou-led DYNAGAS has confirmed that it is in talks with STX Offshore & Shipbuilding to order one 170,000-cbm LNG regasification vessel.
If this would be sealed, it would be the first for the Korean shipyard to be awarded an order from DYNAGAS.
Mr. Prokopiou confirmed the project and said "We think everything will fall into place." The order is expected to be completed shortly.
The newbuilding is slated for delivery in the first half of 2015 and its price is said to have been agreed with the yard at around $300m.
