MSI LNG/LPG shipping analyst Andrew Buckland tackles some of the difficult questions around the size of the #LNG carrier orderbook and what the surge in large LNG carrier deliveries in 2025 will mean for the industry. Speaking to Riviera Maritime Media Ltd, he noted that although the bulk of deliveries are scheduled for 2025, the new Qatari LNG trains are not expected to start exporting until 2026. Andrew said that time-charter rates have already come under pressure from the huge orderbook. “Spot rates are likely to continue to see the seasonal fluctuations that happen most years,” he added. “But the peak rates we have seen in the run up to winter in the last few years will likely be a lot lower in 2025.” https://lnkd.in/db5yypyW #LNG #gascarriers #commodities #globaltrade

🚢 ➡️ All eyes are on the large LNG carrier orderbook Maritime Strategies International (MSI) LNG/LPG shipping analyst Andrew Buckland tackled some of the difficult questions the surge in large LNG carrier deliveries in 2025 will pose for the industry.
