LNG

Beihai LNG in Guangxi has discharged 26 cargoes this year to 13 July, and every one of them came from Russia. That intake marks the terminal’s second-busiest first half in eight years, behind only 2024, and ten cargoes more than it took over the same window last year. The berth is working at its usual rate. Nothing else has come through it.

Traded LNG markets are hedged between two risks – winter weather and further shipments from Russia’s sanctioned Arctic LNG 2. Six more vessels are headed to China with estimated arrivals between now and early October, Energy Aspect understands.
