From Deepwater Deals to Green Horizons
FLNG projects take center stage—from Gabon's offshore breakthrough to Egypt's energy ambitions. Growing tension around U.S. shipbuilding rules, fresh LNG vessel orders, and LNG bunkering in Jamaica and Vancouver.
Welcome back to this week’s edition of LNG4U! We’ll start with a quick knowledge boost to keep your LNG game sharp 🎓, take a look at where prices are headed 💰, and then dive into the biggest moves and updates in the LNG shipping world from the past week 📅.

The LNG membrane ship cargo tank cannot be partially loaded ❌, it's either fully loaded or empty. Why ❓ The partial loading can cause damage to the cargo containment 🚨 especially the primary barrier due to the Sloshing effect. What does it mean ❓ Sloshing is the term used to describe the violent resonant motion of the free surface of a liquid cargo inside a moving tank, e.g. standing waves in partially filled cargo tanks on board an LNG carrier. The moving liquid will exert forces on bodies inside the tank and on the tank walls 🛑. These forces are normally referred to as sloshing loads, and need to be considered in the design of the cargo containment system, pump tower and pump tower supports, as well as the inner hull structure that supports the cargo containment system 🚧. How to avoid Sloshing effect ❓ I’ll cover it next week. |  Source : DNV |
