What it is
A market intelligence platform tracking floating and onshore LNG import projects worldwide, from the first gas-supply tender and charter enquiry through marine consent, FEED, shipyard conversion, construction, commissioning, and operation. Every record carries verified investment values, regasification capacity, timelines, vessel assignments, tenders, and decision-maker contacts.
Shipowners, shipyards, EPCs, LNG traders and port authorities use it to spot import projects while the charter is still open, price conversions and newbuilds early, and track each terminal to its first cargo.
Coverage begins before a charter is signed, with national LNG import plans, port master plans, request-for-proposal notices and gas-to-power studies read in the local language.
Sponsor, charterer, FSRU owner, shipyard, jetty and pipeline EPC, and regasification equipment suppliers are mapped to each terminal with verified contacts.
Each terminal carries its stage, from import study and tender through charter award and conversion or newbuild to commissioning and first cargo, with an alert the moment a charter is awarded.
Charter terms, send-out capacity and award dates are reconciled against two independent sources, cited and dated, so a term sheet can be checked before anyone quotes against it.
Pipeline Preview
Ranked by announced capex, these are the ten largest LNG import projects in the pipeline; the full record for each carries charter status, send-out capacity, shipyard and EPC awards, and named sponsor contacts.

Nine stages in four phase families, each cell sized by the number of tracked projects at that stage, running from the earliest signals through to first cargo.

Where the tracked pipeline actually sits. Counts come straight from the live database and are compared against the busiest region, not against a total: the regions overlap, so they are never added together.
Bars are scaled to the busiest region. A project in a country belonging to more than one grouping is counted in each, so these figures are not additive.
Where the pipeline is moving
Asia still accounts for the majority of tracked import capacity, but the fastest compounding growth now sits in Southeast Asia and West Africa. Vietnam and the Philippines pair rapid power demand with permitting measured in months, which is why floating terminals there are reaching commissioning while comparable European projects are still in consent. Europe is splitting in two: the emergency charters fixed after 2022 are rolling off, and the sponsors who can convert to permanent onshore capacity are doing so while the rest release tonnage back into a charter market that has tightened every year since. Across every region the binding constraint is the same, vessel availability rather than capital or demand, which is why the tracked pipeline is increasingly concentrated in markets that can secure a hull inside a three year window.
