Graduates reflect on LNG conference learnings
Early-career engineers described exposure to a wider LNG ecosystem and orderbook drivers during a brief video interview recorded on day one
A brief video interview on the first day of the LNG Shipping & Terminals conference in October 2025 captured how two first-time attendees approached the event as a learning exercise rather than a networking ritual.
The speakers identified themselves as early-career engineers at the same organisation.
Asked for takeaways, Shell Trading & Supply development project engineer Jessica Morris said she had been “pleasantly surprised at the variety of companies.”
Working within a large organisation could create “tunnel vision,” she added, and the event broadened her view, “There are so many competitors, companies, makers, new technologies.”
Her comments pointed to a simple but telling outcome for a first-time delegate: curated exposure to multiple technical and commercial perspectives in the same room.
Shell Trading & Supply development naval architect Aidan Armory seconded the point and made his own objective explicit.
As a recent graduate, he wanted “visibility” and a clearer grasp of “the factors that are influencing orderbooks, what new ships are going to look like, and why.”
He said hearing detail “from different parties within the LNG industry” helped him start to connect those elements.
He underscored how structured conference content – papers, panels and Q&A – could accelerate a newcomer’s understanding of the market signals that shape design choices.
