Indonesia's Sillo Maritime has purchased a 2009-built liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier for $65 million.

A unit of Indonesia’s Sillo Maritime has purchased a 2009-built liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier for $65 million.

Jakarta-based Sillo Maritime said in a stock exchange filing that its unit Transpor Nusantara Line (TNL) purchased the LNG vessel from Eternity Ocean Maritime on June 3.

The acquired LNG carrier is a 2009-built vessel with IMO number 9331660. It measures 286.3 meters in length and 46.5 meters in width, with a gross tonnage capacity of 110,881 GT.

Sillo Maritime did not provide the name of the LNG carrier.

According to VesselsValue data, the LNG carrier in question is the 157,720-cbm Seri Balhaf, previously owned by Malaysia’s MISC.

The data shows that the vessel has been renamed Golden Queena.

Sillo Maritime said that Eternity Ocean Maritime Ltd. was established in December 2025, without revealing further details.

Data posted on the Soechi Lines website shows that Eternity Ocean Maritime Ltd. is a unit of the Indonesian shipping company.

Brokers recently said that Soechi Lines purchased MISC’s 2009-built LNG carrier, Seri Balqis.

This is not the first LNG carrier purchase for Sillo Maritime.

In 2022, the company’s unit Golden Prima Maritim purchased the 2007-built 145,000-cbm Methane Shirley Elisabeth, now renamed Golden Isaia.

Golar LNG Partners sold this vessel for approximately $54 million.
