LNG oversupply forcing floating storage, says Poten
Poten & Partners warns that mild weather and LNG oversupply is forcing product into floating storage as tank capacity is nearing 100% at European terminals. Meanwhile, the ability of countries outside Europe to absorb excess LNG in the next year is limited, with not much potential in traditional demand centres such as Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea
In the short term, a contango market is supporting shipments, while in the long term, demand growth is dominated by South and Southeast Asia
