Abu Dhabi-based shipowner Adnoc Logistics & Services (Adnoc L&S) has re-emerged in the market for a steam turbine LNG carrier to take on period hire at a time when charter rates for these older vessels have plummeted.

Brokers said Adnoc L&S has requested a steam turbine LNG carrier of between 137,000 cbm and 141,000 cbm under 25 years old.
