The world LNG trade accounted for 522.08 Mm 3 in liquid form or 236.31 Mt, 59.2 million tons traded on a spot or short-term basis or 25% of total trade.
71% of LNG demand was located in Asia and 40% of global LNG imports were supplied from the Middle East
The total LNG tanker fleet consisted of 378 vessels . It included 14 FSRUs (Floating Storage and Regasification Unit) and 14 ships of less than 18 000 m3.
