New Delhi [India], May 18 (ANI): GAIL (India) Limited has signed a 14-year Time Charter Party with Cool Company Ltd, in a move to bolster its LNG carrier fleet, for a newly built LNG carrier.

The leading-edge technology and best-in-class economic and environmental performance of this newbuild LNG carrier secure GAIL's ability to transport clean-burning LNG in a highly efficient and cost-effective manner for many years to come."
As India continues to expand its infrastructure to support natural gas usage, such strategic alliances are critical for meeting energy demands sustainably.
The new LNG carrier, equipped with advanced technology, is expected to play a crucial role in this dynamic growth phase, ensuring efficient and environmentally friendly transportation of LNG. (ANI)
