ECONOMICS OF LIQUEFACTION ABOARD LNG TANKERS

A table for a typical LNG transportation case showing the value of LNG required for 14% and 20% Average Annual Rate of Return (AARR) for various bunker costs is presented. It appears that for liquefaction to be economically attractive, LNG should have a value of 30% to 50% or more above ship bunkers on a Btu basis.
