Spot charter rates for LNG carriers are expected to rise to more than $100,000 per day this winter and could even double, according to broker and consultant Poten & Partners.
In a webinar, Poten head of shipping analytics Jefferson Clarke said that depending on how the winter plays out and with just 10 vessels available in the market, daily charter rates for the brokerage’s benchmark 160,000-cbm tri-fuel diesel-electric (TFDE) vessels can range from about $125,000 to almost $200,000.
