Shell Shipping and Shell International Trading and Shipping Co. (STASCO) will begin recruiting U.S. merchant mariners to staff its growing fleet of managed international liquefied natural gas carriers. The announcement by London-based Shell follows a November 2006 extension of a vessel management contract between STASCO and Nakilat Shipping Ltd. The two companies have now entered into an agreement, announced on Feb. 8, 2008, that will further expand STAS-CO's vessel management portfolio adding 25 new-build LNG carriers to Nakilat's fleet.
