Europe's LNG Cargoes: Your Daily Energy News

Energy Market highlights gathered by Industrial Info and IIR Energy

LNG
LNG Ships Not Able to Unload in Europe - Dozens of ships carrying liquefied natural gas (LNG) circling off the coasts of Spain unable to secure slots to unload have prompted grid operators for the country to warn they may have to suspend loading to deal with this "exceptional situation." The arrival of multiple LNG cargoes has pushed Europe's LNG regasification capacity to its limit. If the backlog is not cleared soon, those ships may start looking for alternative ports outside Europe to offload their cargo. There are more than 35 LNG-laden vessels drifting off Spain and around the Mediterranean, with at least eight vessels anchored off the Bay of Cadiz alone, traders, analysts and sources at LNG terminals familiar with the situation said on Monday.
