An Iraqi energy services company that is not known to have been a shipowner before has been identified as the buyer of a VLGC sold by Greece’s Latsis family.

Baghdad-based GGC Energy is reported by London brokers as the new owner of Latsco Shipping’s 82,400-cbm Hellas Glory (built 2008).

Officials at Latsco and GGC Energy did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
