“In the LNG carrier charter market, brokers noted that some owners soon became no longer interested in trying to cash in on what had been a prosperous spot market to instead focus on term discussions,” according to the latest London broker report on the past month’s events.

Sept 30 (LNGJ) - Centrica, the UK utility and LNG market participant, has agreed to sell LNG to China under a long-term contract. The binding 15-year Sales and Purchase Agreement is for 500,000 tonnes per annum of supplies to the Shenergy Group. Deliveries are expected to start in 2024.

“We are delighted to conclude this agreement with Shenergy. The roots of our shared history date back over 150 years, to when British Gas helped install gas lighting in the streets of Shanghai,” said Chris O’Shea, Centrica’s Chief Executive. “This deal is a new milestone for our companies and complements Centrica’s existing portfolio of LNG positions and contracts,” added the CEO.
