Trading

LNG trade is rapidly growing and changing all over the world. 　In Japan, the government, electric power and city gas companies along with trading houses identified LNG as the core energy source to be procured on a stable basis. 　As a result, Japan soon became the largest LNG importer in the world.

Traditionally, LNG has been traded based on a long-term contract, but the major oil companies and trading houses have been challenging this tradition for arbitrage deals, which focus on taking advantage of value differences among markets, and spot trading, which is a onetime or short-term LNG trading deal realized based on supply and demand imbalances. 　Under these circumstances, we, LNG Japan, have been creating new and innovative business models by accurately grasping market demands. 　With innovative ideas and a clear vision foreseeing the rapidly-changing market, we are able to procure and deliver LNG from LNG suppliers to our clients with LNG Spot Sales and Purchase Agreements.

Based on long-term LNG trading expertise in the Japanese market, we are steadily increasing our presence in the worldwide LNG business by taking advantage of our unique know-how and close relationships with Asian LNG players.
