Norway's Odfjell remains in no hurry to offload its only two gas carriers after taking full control of the ships.

The Oslo-listed chemical tanker owner acquired partner Celsius Shipping's stake in joint venture Odfjell Gas, which owns the 9,000-cbm ethylene ships Bow Guardian and Bow Gallant (both built 2008).

Speaking on a conference call with analysts, Odfjell chief executive Kristian Morch confirmed the company is not looking to retain the vessels.
