Market information is made available on a regular basis to the LNG community including LNG flows, status of fleets, indications of Unit Freight Costs and ongoing projects information

Gathering, Synthesising, Advising

Tailor made solutions can be provided for any type of LNG shipping enquiries thanks to our well-rounded experience. Simulations can be performed using in-house tools to estimate the optimum fleet size for minimizing Unit Freight Costs. LNG carriers’ main characteristics, in particular Fuel Gas and Fuel Oil consumptions, are evaluated according to each propulsion system and containment system.

We lead major projects from detailing the specifications of LNG carriers to organising tender processes leading to finalisation of Shipbuilding Contracts and Time Charter Parties.

LNG Shipping Consultant

On behalf of a major European Utility, we organised the Shipyard tendering process with a General Technical specification for the most recent generation of LNG Carrier including ‘state-of-the-art’ technology.  Commercial terms were negotiated with the selected Shipyard leading to a pre-defined contractual price. On this basis, the Shipowners’ tender was organised with a pre-negotiated contractual price allowing an equal comparison between Shipowners with an identical LNG Carrier. After commercial discussions with the selected Shipowner, the Shipbuilding Contract and the Time Charter Party were signed on the same day with one Option exercised since the signature of the first vessel. Transparency of process has been much appreciated by the major European Utility’s management.
