New entrants spoilt for choice between onshore and offshore LNG terminals
By Gordon Jackson
Offshore LNG terminals have been under consideration since the early 1990s, first for export and more recently for import.
Tangible progress is now being made with Excelerate Energy’s US Gulf Gateway project working well and its planned Northeast Gateway off the coast of Massachusetts moving forward in the permitting process.

LNG carrier owners can consider their options
Clare Calnan
Looking back over the last 20 years it can be seen that in terms of both the types of trading and the volumes of cargoes being transported the LNG market has come a long way in a short time.
By 2009 the size of the LNG carrier fleet is expected to increase to 300 vessels and by 2011 it is likely to reach 450 vessels.
It is inevitable that with this level of expansion comes innovation and flexibility, not only on the part of the oil and gas companies developing new sources of supply, but also on the part of the LNG buyers in both traditional and emerging markets.
