Golar LNG is still looking to dump its shipping business and could explore asset sales to do so.
Jefferies analyst Randy Giveans said that the Tor Olav Troim-backed company could look to sell its way out of the LNG shipping business as a spin-off of its gas carriers has been held up for months.
"Management commented that the Company is continuing to look at ways to simplify its structure through a spin [off] or asset sales," Giveans wrote in a note on Friday.
