US-China LNG trade shrunk by trade war

This data shows the significant damage to LNG trade that has been caused by the 8-month trade dispute between the two countries. Talks are currently being held in an attempt to negotiate a settlement that satisfies both party’s interests, and end the recent chain of ‘tit-for-tat’ tariffs.

The single vessel that did make a delivery to China during the 8-month period of hostilities was the Adam LNG, which left Cheniere’s Sabine Pass export terminal on 30 January.

The latest data shows several LNG vessels from the US positioned in the Pacific Ocean. It has been suggested that some of these vessels could soon be directed to China.
