LNG trading, from cargo to cash

LNG is a cargo business: discrete shipments, long voyages, destination flexibility, and index-linked pricing across regions. Gravitas models LNG cargoes end to end, from deal capture through vessel scheduling to settlement.

Overview

LNG on a single model

An LNG deal is a cargo with a price formula, a delivery window, a vessel, and often destination flexibility that carries real optionality. Gravitas captures the cargo, its index-linked price formula, and its financial hedges on one model, so the physical cargo and the paper that hedges it stay in one position.

Valuation handles index-linked and regional pricing, risk captures inter-regional spread and optionality, and scheduling manages vessel and delivery-window logistics.

How a LNG trade flows, capture to cash

Every stage runs on one shared LNG model, a trade captured once flows through valuation, risk, physical operations, and settlement without re-keying.

FAQ

LNG questions

How does Gravitas price LNG cargoes?

Through index-linked price formulas referencing regional indices, so cargo value tracks the relevant market and inter-regional spreads are visible.

Does it handle destination flexibility?

Yes. The optionality in flexible-destination cargoes is captured so its value and risk are visible rather than buried.

Can we schedule vessels?

Yes. Scheduling manages vessel assignment, voyages, and delivery windows for each cargo.
