The Washington Post: LNG-Powered Ships Gain as Rising Output Answers Oil-Price Tumult

24 Sep 2015: “Fuel prices tied to Louisiana’s Henry Hub, the benchmark for U.S. gas, may soften the blow. While LNG contracts are historically linked to crude, adding U.S. supply to the market is creating more choice for shipowners, said Jason Feer, head of business intelligence at Poten & Partners in Houston.

“’We’re seeing greater diversity in LNG pricing mechanisms,’ Feer said by telephone. ‘People want to see some diversity in shipping fuel, and in the short- to mid-term, there’s likely to be quite a bit of LNG available at competitive prices.”’
