Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd.  announced that it signed a charter contract with Sakhalin Energy LLC for the LNG carrier Grand Mereya through a subsidiary company 60% owned by MOL on October 4, 2022. The vessel has been transporting LNG from the project under a long-term charter contract with Sakhalin Energy Investment Company Limited, the former operator of the project, but the contract has now been newly made with Sakhalin Energy LLC and the vessel will continue the same transport services.
