据Hellenic shipping news 3月18日报道，全球信息提供商IHS Markit全球LNG高级分析师Matthew Shruhan表示，2019年全球LNG供应量将增加3500万至4000万吨，同比增长约9%。

在周四举行的能源行业会议剑桥能源周的一个小组讨论会上，Shruhan预计，2020年将新增类似规模的LNG供应。

"我们开始看到市场进入暂时过剩时期的迹象。" Shruhan称，并指出即使在冬季LNG价格也将相对疲软。

Shruhan表示，今年的问题是，这些货物将如何在市场上得到清理和吸收。

Global LNG supply to rise 9 pct in 2019: IHS Markit

Global liquefied Natural gas (LNG) supply would increase by 35 million to 40 million tonnes in 2019, representing a year-on-year growth of around 9 percent, said Matthew Shruhan, senior analyst on global LNG with IHS Markit, a London-based global information provider.

Speaking at a panel discussion at ongoing energy industry conference CERAWeek here on Thursday, Shruhan expected a similar size of new LNG supply would be added in 2020.

“We are starting to see signs that we’re heading into a temporary period of surplus in the market,” said Shruhan, noting LNG prices will be relatively soft even in the winter.

The question for this year is how the cargo is going to be cleared and absorbed in the market, according to Shruhan.
