The end result of these new generation ships is a 20-30 percent reduction in transportation cost.

That's pretty impressive. I wonder what that means in terms of time to pay back the R&D/construction costs.

When I go to AK, I’m always amazed at the number of LNG tankers moored in the Cook Inlet, due to waiting for high tides.

XOM just rendered current LNG carriers obsolete.

An amazing coup. No surprises, it was achieved by one of the tiny minority of non-national Oil/Gas companies.
