Australia Ships LNG 16,000 Miles to Canada as Asia Demand Slumps

“East Canada is set to receive its first Australian shipment of the fuel on the Maran Gas Hector on Thursday, according to ship-tracking data compiled by Kpler that goes back to 2008. The journey is unusually long, with the tanker traveling around 16,000 miles (25,750 kilometers) to reach its final destination.”

“The shipment comes as Australia increasingly looks outside its key markets in China, Japan and elsewhere in Asia to find buyers of uncontracted LNG. A cargo from the exporter arrived in Turkey over the weekend, the first since at least 2017, according to data compiled by Bloomberg, while another went to Chile this year.”
