A steam turbine-driven LNG carrier has been beached in India for demolition marking the first scrap sale for the sector in 2022.
Brokers said the 126,540-cbm Dahlia (ex-Ocean Quest, built 1979) arrived under tow at a beach plot on 26 May. The vessel is reported to have been sold on an “as is” basis in Malaysia.
A price has yet to emerge for the 33,141-ldt, membrane-type vessel.
