LNG

Oct 15 (LNGJ) - The handling of goods in the Dutch port of Rotterdam increased by 5.4 percent in the first nine months. Allard Castelein, Chief Executive of the Port of Rotterdam Authority, said: "The handling of oil products increased by 22.1 percent and the throughput of LNG almost doubled. As gas prices in Asia have dropped significantly and are now comparable to those in Europe, the supply here is increasing. However, in absolute terms, the handling volume of LNG is still limited."
