Gas carrier

Bulgaria has received several offers for the supply of natural gas, which do not require the country to look for a slot for its unloading, as this is provided by the trader. There is also an offer for direct delivery. Thus, the caretaker government will have no commitment to look for a natural gas unloading terminal.

The first liquefied gas tanker from the United States has arrived, the Ministry of Energy told BNT.

In all probability, it will be unloaded at the Greek terminal Revithoussa and the blue fuel will arrive in Bulgaria via the gas connection near Petrich.

A month ago Prime Minister Kiril Petkov, after a visit to the United States, announced that Bulgaria had bought two LNG tankers for about 200 million cubic meters of gas in total. They can cover our full consumption for June, with deliveries expected to arrive on June 8 and 23. The price is not known, but it is assumed that it may be below the market at the moment.

Interest in the construction of new ships carrying liquefied natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas has been expressed in recent days, according to brokerage firm Intermodal.

A total of nine LNG Carriers and LPG Carriers agreements were signed last week.

Global orders for new oceangoing vessels dropped to record lows after the year's second quarter, but Greek shipowners remained the leaders in orders across the entire range of tankers and liquefied natural gas carriers, according to a survey by VesselsValue.

Greek shipowners remained at the top of the chart for buyers of second-hand ships over the first quarter of the year.
