Oslo-listed BW Epic Kosan (BWEK) revealed on Monday that it bought two ethylene carriers in a deal that marks the exit of seller Odfjell SE from the gas carrier market.

The 9,000-cbm Bow Guardian and Bow Gallant (both built 2008) are changing hands for an undisclosed amount of cash and nearly 6.9m in freely transferable shares that BWEK plans to issue.
