Shell is set to bring two 10-year-old LNG carriers to the market this month.

Brokers said the company is expected to float a tender to sell the 170,000-cbm Methane Patricia Camila and Methane Mickie Harper (both built 2010) with ­charter-back deals on offer for both.

The membrane-type, tri-fuel ­diesel-electric (TFDE) LNG carriers, which are among some of the ­earliest to be fitted with onboard reliquefaction systems, were two of the vessels Shell inherited when it took over BG Group and its LNG shipping assets in 2016.
