Trafigura aims to enhance its LNG shipping, regasification operations and related infrastructure as the Swiss trading giant's LNG trading activity increases, according to chief executive Jeremy Weir.

The company has been expanding LNG spot trading operations and long-term intake while investing in infrastructure across continents, seeking to harness the strong demand growth of the super-chilled fuel amid environmental drive.

“We are moving into the LNG market, increasing trading activity…while concentrating on the shipping side,” Weir told the Oil and Money 2018 conference.
