Trading firm BGN is in talks to add a second LNG carrier to its fleet, its shipping director Ozan Turgut told Argus.

BGN is "very much in close discussions" about the vessel, Turgut said on the sidelines of the Adipec conference in Abu Dhabi this week. The company has yet to decide whether to add the ship through a joint venture or another arrangement, BGN said.

BGN aims to have two LNG carriers by 2027. Its trading arm is due to take the first, the 174,000m³ Amore Mio I, on a 10-year time charter in early 2027 through a joint venture with Greece's Capital Clean Energy Carriers.
