Managing director Kristian Morch confirmed the decision to TradeWinds.
Odfjell has another pair of 17,000-cbm ships and four 22,000-cbm LPG carriers at the yard. They were ordered by a joint venture with Oak Hill Advisors and Breakaway Capital.
Odfjell is primarily a chemical tanker owner but re-entered the LPG segment in 2012 with the purchase of the 9,000-cbm Bow Gallant (built 2009) and Bow Guardian (built 2008).
