Three more LNG carriers lined up as scrap candidates in busy year

At least three more LNG carriers are being prepared for scrap sale in what is shaping up to be a record year for demolition in this shipping sector.

Scrap brokers said Sinokor Merchant Marine is limbering up to market another two of its laid-up LNG carriers for demolition sale.

Market talk indicates the vessels could be the 125,556-cbm North Energy (ex-Wilenergy, built 1983) and the 126,530-cbm South Energy (ex-LNG Edo, built 1980).
