Idan Ofer-controlled Eastern Pacific Shipping (EPS) is expanding its presence in the LPG sector with the acquisition of the 35,000-cbm Camberley (built 2006).

The ship is believed to be controlled by Russian businessman Yuri Nikitin and is said to have changed hands for $38m.

It is set for delivery to EPS in a couple of weeks. The company already has two LPG carriers — the 34,000-cbm Kent (built 2007) and 17,500-cbm Cumbria (built 1990).
