Nigeria’s NNPC has begun exporting LNG cargoes to Japan and China, according to Bloomberg.

  • Two of the company’s units – NNPC LNG and NNPC Shipping - delivered the first DES LNG cargo from Grazyna Gesicka vessel at Futtsu, Japan, on June 27, NNPC told Bloomberg.
  • They have also been delivering cargoes to China, also on a DES basis, Bloomberg added.
  • Platts reported earlier that WAF LNG cargoes are increasingly finding outlets in Europe, despite favourable arbitrage economics to Asia. This is due to shipping constrains.
