    Thank you very much for another great story.
    I am very interested in LNG for bunkering in the US.
    I am interested in the LNG price quoted of $250/MT,
    seems low for even Euro spot bulk deliver of LNG.
    that would be a delivered price of $5/mmbtu? seems low.
    can you help me with the math, that price also doe not
    include any cost for storage, LNG logistics, loading,
    or a bunker vessel or trucking. Just trying to understand
    the math if you can help. I would expect this to
    be closer to $9/mmbtu all-in, what do you think?
