Golar LNG reported a second-quarter loss that was slightly wider than analysts estimates as spot rates for LNG shipping saw little improvement over the quarter and voyage expenses increased with the recent positioning of the Golar Tundra,  a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU).

But West Africa Gas Limitied (WAGL), the Tundra's charterer, has yet to make its charter payments, which have been accruing since mid-July.
