Dorian has confirmed the addition of a series of VLGCs into its Helios LPG Pool.

TradeWinds reported two weeks ago that Chinese owner Shangdong Shipping was in talks to put vessels controlled by its large gas carrier arm into the pool.

Today, New York-listed Dorian said in a statement that it would take over operations of eight VLGCs from Oriental Energy.

The co-operation will have an additional strand with Helios LPG signing a COA with Oriental Energy covering its shipments from the US Gulf.
