Celsius wins contract to build MET Group’s first LNG vessel

Full-service shipping company Celsius has signed a deal through which it will build the first liquefied natural gas (LNG) vessel for MET Group, a European energy company.

A partnership agreement signed between the duo targets a delivery date in 2027.

The LNG carrier will help MET Group grow its LNG activities and support its strategy to enhance its ability to supply customers with LNG. China Merchants Heavy Industry will construct the new carrier.

Benjamin Lakatos, Chairman and CEO of MET Group, said, “We are delighted to reach this milestone for our LNG activities in partnership with Celsius. At MET, we believe LNG will play an important role in the European energy transition.”
