A second LNG carrier has been sold for scrap in a year in which the expectation of demolition sales for the ageing steam turbine fleet is rising.
Brokers said the Indonesian-controlled 19,474-cbm steam turbine-driven Surya Aki (built 1996) was sold to cash buyers for $655 per ldt on an “as is” basis in Batam, Indonesia, with the option to send it to Chittagong or Alang for scrapping.
