US-listed StealthGas has reported a narrow profit for the third quarter, despite the Covid-19 pandemic hurting global demand for the LPG carriers on its vessels.

The Harry Vafias-led company posted a reported net income of $800,000, reversing a $200,000 loss in the same period of last year.

Voyage revenue held up, rising 1.4% year-on-year to $37.1m, despite the company putting four small LPG ships and its sole aframax in dry dock in the period.
