NGI’s Jamison Cocklin, managing editor of LNG, talks with Davenport Energy’s Toby Copson, managing partner and portfolio manager, about where things stand in the Asian LNG market as winter nears an end and the restocking season approaches. Copson, an LNG trader, discusses why Asian LNG spot buying has been so sluggish and whether he expects that to change anytime soon.
