FEATURED CASE STUDY
When the Contract Holds but the Cargo Doesn't: Structural Demand Risk for LNG Shipping
Shipping Market Review by Danish Ship Finance · May 2026
Question: Are LNG carriers and LNG-fuelled vessels being financed against a demand reality that still exists?
Their analysis: LNG carrier demolition ages have fallen from 43 years in 2022 to 21 years in 2026, the fastest lifetime compression on record. Pipeline substitution, behind-the-meter solar displacement, and tightening marine fuel regulation are converging on LNG demand from the demand side. Pakistan's long-term LNG contracts remain in force, but distributed solar left the country with a projected surplus of 177 cargoes through 2031. The structural pattern is clear: counterparties do not need to default for the cargo base to erode beneath the vessels financed to serve it.
