• Greek shipowner Alpha Tankers & Freighters has doubled its LNG play. The company is understood to be behind an order for a 160,000-cbm LNG carrier at South Korea’s STX Offshore & Shipbuilding. Officials declined to confirm Alpha is hte buyer. The company made its break into the sector last year, it is thought, by flipping an 181,000-dwt capesize-bulker order into a 160,000-cbm LNG vessel.
