FSRUs still offer a better return than LNG carriers, report says

Shipowners are better putting their money into FSRU projects than buying conventional LNG carriers, according to analysts at Drewry.

Day rates for FSRUs have come down from the $120,000 to $130,000 per day range a couple of years ago to around $100,000 per day right now.

“Despite falling rates, owning an FSRU gives a better return than an LNG vessel,” Drewry said in a report today.
