Bi Webinar – LNG Shipping Markets: Key Drivers Shaping Near to Long-Term Fundamentals | September 17
Global LNG shipping markets have been in the doldrums in the past year, with charter day rates at historic lows due to surplus capacity and weak demand. Day rates have rebounded somewhat – as new projects like Plaquemines LNG and LNG Canada enter service and ramp up production – but bearish sentiments are still set to persist for a while. The question is, how long will low rates last? And what opportunities does this market environment create?
Join us for an in-depth webinar, as we highlight and analyze the key drivers affecting LNG shipping markets in the near to long term.
Key Topics Include:
- How long will the current market weakness last? What are some factors that will boost freight rates?
- US regulatory policies linked to LNG and shipping – from ease of permitting to reciprocal tariffs and reviving American shipbuilding.
- How will global LNG demand-supply fundamentals shift in the near to long term, and how will they affect LNG shipping markets?
- Black swan events that could impact LNG freight demand: What should the market look out for?
- The LNG orderbook has slumped significantly for newbuilds delivering from 2H 2028 onwards. Are shipyards well-positioned to meet demand if/when orders spike?
- With a large number of older steam turbine vessels in the fleet, some LNG carriers are being converted into FSUs and FSRUs. But what other opportunities are there in the current market environment?
