Epic Gas is expecting negative effects from the Covid-19 pandemic to keep raising LPG carrier costs for the remainder of 2020.

The Singapore owner's CEO Charles Maltby said the impact of coronavirus is "dissipating the positive tailwinds" in the sector.

For the moment, the inability to perform crew transfers has lowered costs, the company said, but this, together with delays to spare parts and drydocking, and quarantine issues in some ports, will eventually see expenses rise.
