1 shipment from Mozah LNG carrier could supply 0.055% of all Europe's natural gas needs for the year. There are 15 similar ships.

Round trip from US / Canada is less than 1 month.

(.163922÷.73×15×365÷24)÷379 = ~13.5% of Europe's natural gas consumption.

Mozah carrier 163,922 tons LNG.

1B cubic meters of NG = .73M tons LNG.

EU used 379B tons of NG in 2021.

Round trip from Germany to Canada with loading and unloading is ~24 days.

Realistically, it would probably make most sense to ship from the gulf for the US. So the travel time would be longer.

It takes 3+ years to build a container ship. There are 12 under construction in China right now - these all carry about 40% more than Mozah.
