The Charterer has entered into a LNGC time charter party dated 24 November 2021 (“LNGC Interim Charter”) in respect of the Vessel pursuant to which NFE will charter the vessel in LNGC mode for the period from 26 November 2021 until the NFE Delivery Date (as defined below) (the “LNGC Interim Period”).
