    Considering the value of the cargo, if you had that type of money to throw around, you could probably make a pretty profit. Fully loaded one of these tankers holds between $100,000,000 to $200,000,000 of LNG.

    Assuming a modest 3% profit margin, though I suspect that you could achieve 5% easily, you’d pay back the ship with 4 full shipments. Since at 3% you’d have 6 million in profit per trip.
