Liquefaction developer Tellurian is honing its shipping skills for its US-based Driftwood LNG, which could require up to 50 ships if all of its 26 million tonnes were exported ex-ship.
Tarek Souki, the company's senior vice-president for LNG marketing and trading, tells TradeWinds that for the volumes that Tellurian expects to handle, the figure is likely to be closer to 20 to 30 LNG carriers, although he adds that it is unclear how things will evolve over the next four years before the project is scheduled to start up.
