Mexico's Tomza Group has forged charters that will see Pemex unit Mex Gas use two VLGCs over the next five years.

A source close to the deal tells TradeWinds the shipowner has chartered the 84,000-cbm Albert (built 2014) to the Mexican oil company's trading arm at a rate tied to market indices.

Mex Gas will use the ship to transport LPG from Houston to its Pajaritos terminal on the Gulf of Mexico in Veracruz state.
