The LNG shipping sector is blossoming as it matures: more players, with more ships, mean that more flexible transport contracts can be arranged rather than the traditional long-term commitment of a 'floating pipeline' formed by a fleet that had to be purpose-built for a particular project. The rapid growth in spot movements is evidence of increased flexibility, and of the attraction for new investors.
Although no other shipping sector shows such promise, the whole subject of transporting LNG by sea was not, until now covered by a dedicated publication.
LNG World Shipping is an invaluable purchasing reference for companies throughout the LNG marine transport chain as increasing competitiveness widens the choice of specialist services on offer.
