Norway’s Equinor is homing in on a quartet of VLGCs that are being retrofitted to use LPG as a fuel after floating a requirement for large LPG tonnage.

Market sources said the company went to the market early last month but is now in close negotiations with BW LPG for its four VLGCs, the 84,145-cbm BW Gemini, BW Leo, BW Libra and BW Orion (all built 2015).
