The company disclosed that the sale of BW Levant is expected to generate a net book gain of approximately $17 million and net cash proceeds of around $38 million.      It also remarked that the delivery timeline allows the company to continue generating revenue from the asset in a strong freight market.   BW LPG Chief Executive Officer Kristian Sørensen commented, "This sale demonstrates our disciplined approach to capital allocation, realising a strong return just two years after purchasing the vessel through the Avance Gas transaction."

Sailing under the Marshall Islands flag, the 226-metre vessel has a deadweight tonnage of 53,658 and a carrying capacity of 83,000 cubic metres. BW LPG currently operates a fleet of 50 VLGCs.
