Upcoming US LNG producer Tellurian is in the process of looking for its first chartered LNG carriers as the company prepares to fire up its trading business from early next year.

Speaking to TradeWinds at Gastech last week, Tellurian co-founder and vice chairman Martin Houston said: “Our hope and our plan is that we will be trading [LNG] from the start of 2018 and our goal is to be trading a couple of ships.”
