Peter Livanos-controlled GasLog is shedding its last fully owned steam turbine LNG carrier in what is turning into a busy first quarter for sales of secondhand vessels in this sector.

Brokers reported that the 145,000-cbm steam turbine vessel GasLog Athens (ex-Methane Lydon Volney, built 2006) has been sold for $55m.

LNG market sources are naming TMS Cardiff Gas — which is rumoured to have agreed the sale of its oldest ship to Golar LNG — as the likely buyer of the 17-year-old ship.
