Spot charter rates for LNG carriers have slipped back but are still holding up at six-figure levels for modern tonnage.
Brokers said ships fitted with high-pressure and low-pressure gas injection propulsion systems are attracting rates of $150,000 per day plus.
They peg daily levels for tri-fuel and dual-fuel diesel-electric ships in the region of $130,000.
But rates for steam turbine-driven ships have slipped below the $100,000-per-day mark, although they are still being quoted at levels of around $90,000 per day.
