The demand of energy is increasing rapidly across the world. In such a scenario, natural gas is increasingly being considered as the fuel of choice for the near future, as it is less polluting than oil and coal. The market for LNG has been growing at a fast pace for the past few years on the back of factors like, environmental concerns, high energy demand, government support, and huge investments. The world is witnessing a significant level of development in the global LNG trade with imports and exports of LNG forming a vital part of countries’ relationships with each other.
