SITUATION ON THE LNG TANKER MARKET

ZUR LAGE AUF DEM LNG-TANKSCHIFFAHRTSMARKT

The present as well as future demand for LNG tankers basically depends on the needs for natural gas, which will increasingly have to be met by LNG imports, and also on the distance between the points of production and consumption. The author does not consider short and medium-term prospects for the LNG tanker market as good but sees an upsurge in LNG shipments by tanker in the long run that will be further strengthened by larger shipping distances. The current long-term contracts for overseas LNG shipments are surveyed, and a breakdown of the existing and contracted LNG tanker fleet by single building countries is given for 1976 and 1977.
