ABOUT THIS TRAINING COURSE
The LNG market is developing from a fully based market on long-term contracts,
to a more flexible market based on a portfolio of contracts of different
durations. The increase of LNG demand, fuelled by South Korea, Japan and several
other emerging economies, are creating a base for a more flexible market, where
the LNG spot market will be playing a key role.
Changes in the LNG market can be identified in the following areas: development
of terminals and plant sizes, increased integration throughout the supply chain,
diversification of supply sources, increased contractual flexibility and
increased geographical distance. This is creating the foundation for the
development of the LNG spot market right here in Asia today.
This 3 full-day intensive intermediate level course will give you cutting-edge
knowledge needed in today's complex LNG market. Increase your knowledge and
understanding of the LNG market and spot trading aspects by attending this
course.
