Golar LNG sells Golar Viking

Golar LNG Ltd has completed the sale and delivery of the LNG carrier Golar Viking to PT Perusahaan Pelayaran Equinox (Equinox) for US$135 million. The 140,205-cbm Golar Viking (built 2005) has been renamed Salju under Indonesian flag and registry. Under Indonesian Cabotage regulations, LNG cargoes produced and sold within Indonesia must be transported on an Indonesian flagged vessel. Equinox decided to acquire the Golar Viking and transfer the vessel to Indonesian flag due to an anticipated increase in domestic allocation for Indonesian produced LNG cargoes this year. The technical specification of Golar Viking, now renamed Salju, is well suited for the short haul nature of the domestic Indonesian trade.
