LNG carrier Cool Co. Ltd. (CoolCo) entered into a 14-year agreement with India’s GAIL Ltd. to deliver two newbuild LNG carriers to GAIL in the Gulf of Mexico.
Commencing in 2025, the agreement is intended to secure long-term LNG supply in India’s market, with GAIL having the option to extend the agreement by another two years.
