Gerrit StrickerGUEST
So obviously you can't just take out one fifth of the world's LNG supply and expect markets to not respond pretty strongly.

Gerrit StrickerGUEST
Paradoxically, while you might have expected rates to completely crater with so much cargo to base disappearing, we've actually seen the complete opposite happening.

Gerrit StrickerGUEST
What's ended up happening is you've had mostly U.S. volumes replacing Qatari volumes where possible, which has obviously greatly increased ton mile demand.

Gerrit StrickerGUEST
There are fewer cargoes going far longer distance, and I think you've seen similar effects happening elsewhere on the VLGC market, for example.
