A Chinese-controlled steam turbine-driven LNG carrier has been put up for sale in what is proving to be an increasingly active sale-and-purchase market for the sector.

Shipowners said details of the 137,912-cbm Xinhang Energy (built 2002) have been circulated.

The Japanese-built, Moss-type vessel is listed as controlled by Hong Kong-based Xinhang Shipping, with Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement (Singapore) handling its technical management.
