Recent US LPG export capacity expansions and continued production growth are tightening freight availability, even as demand signals in Asia remain mixed. At the same time, the Trump administration’s continued use of tariffs and sanctions as diplomatic tools is adding uncertainty across energy markets — with the most acute impact in freight, where a growing list of sanctioned vessels is complicating operations and reshaping trade flows.
In this timely new episode, Vortexa’s expert host Samantha Hartke, Head of Market Analysis – Americas, is joined by Delia He, Graduate Freight Analyst, and Claire Jungman, Director of Maritime Risk and Intelligence. Together they discuss:
- Freight market tightening: How expanded LPG export capacity is reshaping vessel availability
- Asia’s mixed demand outlook and its impact on trade flows
- Tariff unpredictability and its market-wide ripple effects
- The sanctions squeeze and how it’s changing freight operations
