This Guide has been developed to provide INTERTANKO Members and a wider audience with an overview of the commercial and legal aspects of the carriage of liquefied natural gas (LNG) by sea.
 
This Guide aims to provide some practical assistance to commercial teams in the growing LNG shipping markets, at a time when the LNG industry is moving substantially away from its traditional structures and contract matrices. It is change which has created the need, as increasingly is becoming necessary, for commercial operators of LNG carriers to understand the contractual issues and financial consequences of the vessels separately to the overall outcome for a large LNG project, or portfolio of LNG contracts.
