据路透社11月30日新加坡、伦敦报道，据贸易人士上周五消息，印度盖尔计划在明年第一季度交换三批LNG货物。
这家印度进口商签有20年的合同，每年购买580万吨美国LNG，该合同分给了道明尼资源公司的湾点LNG终端和切尼尔能源公司的萨宾帕斯LNG终端。
由于很少有LNG油轮可以将燃料运往印度，盖尔已经达成交换协议，以换取其萨宾帕斯LNG终端和湾点LNG终端的运油量。
根据提议的互换协议，盖尔将出售其在美国出口工厂湾点LNG的产量份额，以换取将LNG供应到印度。
一位交易员表示，盖尔将每月从湾点LNG终端提供一批货物，明年第一季度装船，以换取向印度的相应交货。
消息人士称，参与方必须在12月3日之前提交报价。
