Named SCF Barents, the 174,000-cubic-metre vessel embarked on its maiden voyage on the day following its delivery to serve a long-term time charter with a subsidiary of Shell.
SCF Barents is the second vessel in a series of three Atlanticmax LNG carriers ordered by SCF Group in 2018. The first vessel of the series, SCF La Perouse, was delivered in February 2020.
