What’s ahead for Yangzijiang Shipbuilding LNG orders?

LNG vessels orders will be key catalysts for Yangzijiang Shipbuilding.

Some LNG orders of Yangzijiang Shipbuilding could become catalysts for the SGX-listed stock, capital markets firm, CGS-CIMB, said.

Latest report showed that the firm is in negotiation for LNG carriers, following its recent announcement that it obtained a licence from Gaztransport & Technigaz (GTT), which allows it to construct LNG vessels using GTT Mark III membrane technologies.

The licence allows the firm to construct large LNG carriers including CBM vessels.
