Merchants are trying to take advantage of the current market situation caused by the suspension of Russian natural gas supplies through the pipeline through the territory of Ukraine. The Financial Times writes about this today.
According to ICIS analysts quoted by FT, the route was changed by at least seven ships for the transportation of liquefied natural gas, which left US ports and transported about half a million tons of LNG. Six tankers were moving towards the Cape of Good Hope and Asia, one ship was heading to Colombia.
In Europe, there is an increase in the cost of gas, and, according to Spark Commodities forecasts, the sale of a batch of liquefied natural gas may further increase the seller's income by $5.3 million.
Earlier, we wrote that a record amount of gas from Russia was supplied via the Turkish Stream gas pipeline.
