Implications for the market

2010 - string of LNG cargoes by independent importers

Several in-tank LNG swaps to assist imports

DEPA share in the market reduced in 2010-2012

Then,

LNG prices above supply basket

Independent importers refrained from imports

2013 saw only a marginal quantity imported by independents

2014 – situation holds

S.C.BIKOS
