Spanish LNG re-exports saw a strong start to November with current volumes already at their highest monthly level since July, with a closed arbitrage to Asia confining re-exported volumes in the Atlantic, Platts said.

  • Spanish LNG re-exports have hit 90k mt as of Nov. 11. By comparison, this figure stood at 20k mt, or two cargoes in October, 40k mt in August, and 160k mt in Oct. 2023.
