LNG

Jan 28 (LNGJ) - The first February cargo is heading for the UK South Hook LNG import terminal at Milford Haven in Wales. The shipment will arrive on February 3 on board Qatari Q-Max carrier “Al Ghuwairiya” with 261,700 cubic metres of capacity. Cargoes are heading for the UK and other European destinations even as record seasonally low prices prevail because of excess supplies. The UK National Balancing Point price was last at around $3.60 per million British thermal units and the main price on Continental Europe, the Dutch Title Transfer Facility (TTF), was at the equivalent of $3.40 per MMBtu. 

While North Sea Brent crude prices rose to their highest level since September 2019, global LNG and natural gas prices were at record low levels for the Northern Hemisphere winter season because of the glut of supplies and spot charter shipping rates were also well down.
