Chemical Conversations: The logistics infrastructure and shipping dynamics of supplying ethylene to Europe from the US

Argus’ lead consultant for Ethylene and Derivatives in Europe, Alan Williamson is joined by VP for Olefins and Derivatives, Sara Rae. Together, they give an overview of the current ethylene shipping fleet and the import and export terminals available to move Ethylene from North America to Europe. They also look at the current infrastructures limitations and future investment challenges faced by terminal and ship owners.

In episode two, our experts discuss:

  • The availability and capacity of terminals in North America to load Ethylene for export to Europe.
  • The availability and cost of suitable shipping to transport the Ethylene to Europe and the investment challenges faced by ship owners.
  • The ability of Europe to import material and transfer it for example into the ARG.

This podcast is the second of a three-part series that explores the logistics of supplying ethylene to Europe and the export options from the US and follows on from the first podcast in the series that looked at the existing European ethylene pipelines and ability of the ARG to move imported ethylene from ARA to consumers further south.

You can listen to episode one ‘Strengths and weaknesses of Europe’s ARG ethylene pipeline’ now.
