}What is LNG Vessel Tracking?
LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) carriers are highly specialized vessels designed to transport natural gas across oceans at a cryogenic temperature of -162°C (-260°F). The global fleet consists of roughly 860 of these high-value ships, making them a critical, trackable component of the global energy trade.
Effective LNG vessel tracking combines real-time AIS data with predictive ETAs and historical port call analytics to provide a true picture of market movements. This is the intelligence that allows traders and charterers to anticipate shifts in supply and demand, optimize vessel timing, and secure a competitive advantage in the volatile energy market.

Frequently Asked Questions on LNG Vessel Tracking
How does your data accuracy compare to competitors like Kepler?
Our clients consistently report higher accuracy, particularly in our predictive ETAs and port congestion forecasts. We achieve this by leveraging a wider range of data sources and more advanced machine learning models, specifically tuned for the complexities of LNG transport.
Can we track specific competitor vessels?
Yes. Our platform tracks the entire global fleet of over 860 LNG vessels. We can provide you with a full list of IMO numbers, allowing your team to monitor any vessel of interest—whether it's part of your fleet or a competitor's.
How is the data delivered?
We offer flexible delivery options to suit your workflow. You can integrate our full dataset into your own systems via our robust, well-documented API, or you can access the same intelligence through our intuitive, ready-to-use web platform.
What is AIS data and why is it important for LNG tracking?
AIS (Automatic Identification System) is a satellite-based transponder system that broadcasts a vessel's identity, position, course, and speed. For LNG vessel tracking, AIS data is critical as it provides the real-time location foundation. We enrich this raw data with other sources to predict ETAs and analyze fleet movements with high accuracy.
How does weather impact LNG vessel tracking and ETAs?
Severe weather can significantly impact an LNG vessel's route and speed, causing delays. Our predictive ETA models incorporate real-time and forecasted weather data, allowing us to adjust arrival predictions more accurately than standard carrier ETAs, giving you a clearer picture of potential weather-related disruptions.
Can you track a vessel's cargo status (laden vs. ballast)?
Yes. By analyzing a vessel's draft, speed, and route patterns, our platform can determine with high confidence whether an LNG carrier is in a laden (carrying cargo) or ballast (empty) state. This is crucial for understanding cargo flows and predicting market supply.
Who are the largest operators of LNG carriers?
The global LNG fleet is operated by a mix of state-owned entities and private shipping companies. Some of the largest and most prominent operators include Nakilat (Qatar), Teekay LNG, Maran Gas Maritime, and NYK Line. Our platform allows you to monitor vessels from all major operators.
What are the primary global LNG trade routes?
The main LNG trade routes connect major production regions with key consumption markets. Major routes include Qatar to Asia (Japan, South Korea, China), Australia to Asia, and the United States to Europe and Asia. Our platform provides deep visibility into vessel traffic on all these critical arteries.
