"Reasons such as the ever-increasing need for energy in the world, irrational policies carried out in international relations, old-style land wars, pandemics, the rise in authoritarian tendencies of governments and migration make borders more meaningful. These realities experienced in the world in recent years have caused problems in terms of the security of energy supply." It affects both economies and disrupts modern life. In this regard, liquefied natural gas (LNG) emerges as an alternative for countries to follow a relatively independent energy policy. The study examines the liquefied natural gas trade, which has developed rapidly in recent years, and the world LNG trade. "It examines the effects on the ship fleet," said Dr. Lecturer Mehmet Saya, commenting on the results of the study as follows;
"The ever-increasing need for energy in the world and the fact that the world is becoming an increasingly unsafe place endangers the security of energy supply, which is necessary for the continuity of modern life. In this respect, LNG is subject to an increasing amount of trade in the world. At the same time, countries need to follow a relatively independent energy policy." The LNG gas trade that took place in the world between 2012 and 2022 has increased the LNG ship fleet both in number and in terms of capacity. This rapid development in LNG trade is a harbinger of the coming years. As the ever-increasing energy need and this uncanny course of the world continues "Trade of this gas will increase and this increased trade will continue to have a positive impact on the world's LNG ship fleet."
