Siam Gas and Petrochemicals PCL has added a small LPG tanker to its fleet in its first such deal for more than a year.

Senior sources at the Thai shipowner confirm it has bought the 6,600-cbm Odyn Gas (built 1996) for $4.1m.

Siam Gas' shipping operations are run by subsidiary Siam Lucky Marine Co, which has more than 20 small LPG tankers that are used to ship its parent company's cargoes domestically.
