Algerian energy company Sonatrach is opting for a different approach as it puts the last of its 1980s-built LNG carriers up for sale for demolition.

Sonatrach’s shipowning arm, Hyproc Shipping, offered the 126,130-cbm Ramdane Abane (built 1981) for sale by tender this week.

Demolition brokers list the 38-year-old ship as being of 29,931 ldt and said Hyproc has specified delivery will be “as is” in Algeria.
