South Korea’s Sinokor Merchant Marine is in talks to sell one of its 10 laid-up LNG carriers for demolition.

Specialist brokers said the company has received strong offers in excess of $560 per ldt for the 126,530-cbm Caribbean Energy (ex-Gaea, built 1980).

They added that the Moss-type LNG carrier has about 3,500 tonnes of aluminium content, which had been attracting the high bids.
