X-LNG.

Plan LNG cargoes, vessels and deliveries together.

X-LNG calculates LNG schedules using your contracts, fleet, prices and operating constraints. Compare a proposed plan with your existing schedule. See how a diversion, a new trade or a charter changes profit and exposure across the portfolio.

SCHEDULES, PROFIT AND EXPOSURE

Review vessel assignments, voyage costs and portfolio profit. Compare the proposed plan with your current schedule.

WHAT IT DOES

What you can do with X-LNG.

01

Schedule the fleet

Assign cargoes to vessels and compare routes, sailing speeds and delivery dates.

02

Assess trading options

Compare a diversion, tender or cancellation with the current plan. Include the effect on other deliveries.

03

Measure exposure and risk

Review portfolio value and price exposure. Use scenario analysis to test how the result changes.

04

Keep confirmed decisions fixed

Fix a voyage or exclude an option, then recalculate the remaining schedule.

05

Apply operating constraints

Model terminal compatibility, delivery windows, canal availability and vessel restrictions.

06

Connect portfolio data

Import the required data from Excel or connect through an API. We agree the integration scope with your team.
