Spot charter rates for modern LNG carriers are holding up at levels slightly shy of the eye-popping $200,000 per day paid last week, despite a quieter feel to trading.
Owners and brokers said vessels have been offered out at daily rates of more than $220,000 but, early this week, there were no confirmed takers yet.
They reported a quieter mood to the LNG chartering market, with virtually no open ships available and charterers appearing to hold off on their requirements.
