Gas shipping


Latest opinion: 27 Feb 2024

The United States is reconsidering its decision to export liquefied natural gas (LNG) to non-free trade agreement (FTA) countries, causing uncertainty in the future of US LNG exports. The Biden administration has temporarily halted approval for new LNG projects, drawing support from environmentalists but raising concerns among LNG suppliers.
 
VLGC spot rates experienced unprecedented lows in early 2024 after reaching their peak in the preceding months. This was mainly driven by disruptions in the Panama Canal and escalating tensions in the Red Sea.
 
CPLP unveiled a deal worth $3.1 billion for 11 LNGCs, marking a significant switch towards LNG shipping from Container shipping. CPLP envisages becoming a new pure-play gas carrier company, under the name ‘Capital New Energy Carriers LP’.
