Analysis: U.S. LNG Imports Down in August
Platts LNG Daily reports that LNG shipping capacity to the United States was down 16% in the month of August from the previous month. Platts notes that 20 cargos with a combined total of 75.98 Bcf capacity entered the U.S. market, compared with 31 cargos and 90.85 Bcf in July. Platts cites increased demand in Asia and rising prices in Europe as likely causes for the decline in LNG volumes. [Subscription required]
