Pacific Carriers pounces on Sloman Neptun LPG carrier

Diversified Singapore based owner Pacific Carriers has purchased a six year old semi-refrigerated LPG carrier from German owner Sloman Neptun.

The 20,600-cbm Sloman Ariadne (built 2011) has changed hands for $34m, European broking sources say. The price is in line with expectations.

Pacific Carriers and Sloman Neptun could not be reached for comments on the deal.

TradeWinds understands the transaction includes a one-year time charter.
