The LNG chain of a US export cargo, with the cost each link adds. The netback is the destination price less the right-hand costs; the cargo is lifted if the netback covers the variable price at liquefaction. Schematic.

Example 4.9 (Europe or Asia)

Take a cargo of 3.5 million MMBtu, a charter rate of $60 000 a day, boil-off of 0.1% a day, and one-way voyages of 14 days to north-west Europe and 25 to north Asia (illustrative, but close to the 14 days from Corpus Christi to Rotterdam and 28 to Hong Kong through Panama that the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies gives), with regasification at 0.50 0.50\, and 0.40 $/MMBtu0.40\,\$/\mathrm{MMBtu}. With Henry Hub at 3.00 3.00\, the variable price is 3.45 $/MMBtu3.45\,\$/\mathrm{MMBtu}; shipping costs 0.54 0.54\, to Europe and 0.97 $/MMBtu0.97\,\$/\mathrm{MMBtu} to Asia, so Asia must pay 0.33 $/MMBtu0.33\,\$/\mathrm{MMBtu} more than Europe to win the cargo. At 12.00 12.00\, in Europe and 12.50 12.50\, in Asia the netbacks are 10.96 10.96\, and 11.13 $/MMBtu11.13\,\$/\mathrm{MMBtu}: Asia.
