Key Trends in the LNG Shipping Market
Natural Gas becoming fuel of choice Strong growth expected in the LNG market
tonnes (mt) to ~420 mt in 2021, coming from both new liquefaction plants and existing projects ramping up
25%
account for 50% of globally traded gas in 2035 (up from 32% today)
significantly over the next 10-15 years from 39 to 80+ countries Transformation of LNGC fleet development
from primarily US, Australia and Russia becomes operational and soak up tonnage
Charterers in form of fuel savings and reduced boil off rates Activity in the LNG spot shipping market continues to grow
to an increasingly liquid spot market led by portfolio trading and more destination flexibility in supply contracts
which corresponded to ~25% of all LNG produced globally

Underfunded LNG NB Orderbook Shipping market begins to tighten
The LNG shipping market is expected to gradually tighten from the end of 2018, with Australia, the U.S. and Russia being the driving forces for soaking up tonnage
new volumes from e.g. Cove Point and Yamal LNG may counter this effect
comes off charter and will result in vessel replacement

twin screw LNGC design with MEGI engines will have an average daily fuel consumption [gas and fuel oil] of ~30% less than the TFDE LNG carriers. This corresponds to a saving of more than 35 tonnes of fuel per day in HFO equivalents at 16 knots.
