Avenir secures multi-year charter extension for LNG bunker vessel “Avenir Accolade”

LNG bunkering provider Avenir LNG on Wednesday (28 May) said it has secured a multi-year charter extension for bunker vessel Avenir Accolade with Excelerate Energy. 

The deal comes as part of Excelerate’s purchase of New Fortress Energy’s (NFE) LNG import and power businesses in Jamaica, where the vessel is expected to remain employed providing a vital service providing cleaner, more cost effective natural gas solutions to the people of Jamaica.

Jonathan Quinn, Managing Director, Avenir LNG, commented: “We are very pleased to announce the commencement of a new relationship with another industry leader as Avenir LNG continues to deliver on our chartering strategy – this time with US-listed regasification specialist Excelerate Energy.”

“We’d like to thank NFE for the strong collaboration over the past years and look forward to continuing our strong operating track record in the region and building a partnership to support another key US LNG player, signalling Avenir’s commitment to serving small-scale LNG shipping requirements globally.”
