I was pleased with the large turnout - especially the mix of IOCs and financiers from different parts of the world. I also felt the handling and arrangements were immaculate

With LNG shipping accounting for 25-30% of the LNG supply chain, the increase in LNG global demand and consumption has fueled a higher demand for LNG ships and vessels. This dynamic market has forced changes to LNG shipping patterns including the use of old ships as floating regasification vessels (FSRU); the development of floating LNG production technology; new builds moving towards more fuel–efficient propulsion like DFDE and Re-heat; and larger size ships to make shipping more cost–efficient.

There is also the mounting pressure as to how costs of leasing, chartering, operating and ordering LNG vessels can be improved with the overall global trend from a shipping perspective to be as flexible as possible in order to ensure your ships can go anywhere!

How flexible is your fleet operation?
Is it geared up to meet the competition from China?
Do you have the new technical specifications in place?
Are you worried about the life-span of your LNG vessel?
Do you want to find out more about the shipbuilding industry in Korea, China and Japan?

Meeting this increased demand poses extreme challenges to the LNG operators and buyers alike. Key issues facing the industry includes new market developments, technological advancements, operational challenges such as shortage and/or retention of staff, and the highly critical aspect of the LNG supply-chain – transporting the LNG from the point of supply to the end user.

Don’t miss this year’s ONLY comprehensive regional LNG shipping event to be held in Korea, which is the hub of the LNG shipping industry!

Uniting real-life case studies and proven global practices, Energy IQ’s leading LNG shipping forum in Asia will converge international players including major gas producers, buyers, sellers, ship owners, ship operators, shipbuilders, shipyard operators, financiers and legal experts to address your critical business issues.
