Going to Asia ship with gas sharply changed course for sake of high prices in Europe

Hellas Diana vessel, which is lucky with liquefied natural gas (LNG) and followed China, changed the course and, probably headed to Europe, writes Bloomberg with reference to the assessment of the analytical company Kpler.

The tanker, who left the port in Texas on November 27, sharply turned around in the Hawaiian Islands area and headed in the opposite direction. Currently, he passes through the Panama Canal.

According to Bloomberg calculations, no less than seven other ships reoriented to Europe, and Financial Times has previously addressed the tendency. The region faces the energy crisis associated with high gas prices. In mid-December, they approached $ 2,200 per thousand cubic meters.

Later, the cost of fuel went down, but it remains relatively high. December 28 Futures for January traded around $ 1,200 per thousand cubic meters, testifying data to London Ice.
