根据美国能源信息署(EIA)的数据，2024年全球液化天然气(LNG)贸易量达到550亿立方英尺/日。
与原油类似，LNG依赖于少数几条狭窄水道运输。全球54%的LNG贸易通过下图所示的六大大关键“咽喉要道”运输。
其中，霍尔木兹海峡是全球最重要的LNG运输通道，承担全球21%(114亿立方英尺/日)的运输量。
虽然部分石油可以通过管道绕过霍尔木兹海峡，但对于卡塔尔等天然气生产国而言，这是将产品运往市场的唯一途径。
另外，马六甲海峡、好望角，分别承担17%(92亿立方英尺/日)和10%(57亿立方英尺/日)的运输量。
其他重要的“咽喉要道”还包括丹麦海峡、苏伊士运河和土耳其海峡。
值得注意的是，自2023年以来，也门胡塞武装对曼德海峡船只的袭击导致该通道的LNG运输完全中断。
