LNG carrier vessel
Energy & Fuels Division

Spot and term LNG cargoes from global liquefaction hubs.

Overview

From Ras Laffan to Futtsu — and every regasification slot in between.

Universal Trade Investments LLC arranges LNG cargoes for power producers, industrial offtakers, and gas distribution networks. We support both spot-cargo procurement and structured long-term Sale and Purchase Agreements (SPAs), drawing on supply relationships with major liquefaction projects in Qatar, the United States, Australia, and the Atlantic basin.

Given the capital intensity and contractual complexity of LNG, every transaction is supported by tier-one trade finance arrangements and full charter-party documentation. Our team coordinates regasification scheduling and slot allocation in cooperation with destination terminal operators.
