Background

LNG Prime is a specialist trade publication covering Liquefied Natural Gas markets: liquefaction plants, import terminals, shipping and cargo movements. Its reporting works at the level of individual facilities and vessels, the detail that analysts and procurement desks use to track physical supply.

LNG Prime reported Equinor's start of maintenance at Hammerfest LNG in northern Norway on 22 April 2025, a cycle that ended with a restart on 3 August 2025, and its coverage extends to the plant's three-day planned maintenance on 13-16 June 2026.

It sits in the specialist energy trade press alongside titles such as LNG Industry. Outlets of this kind report operational detail, such as terminal outages, vessel tracking and cargo diversions, that general news coverage often leaves out.
