Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) has emerged as a critical energy solution for South America’s growing industrial and residential needs, offering both environmental and economic advantages. However, the intercontinental transportation of LNG trucks from Europe to Peru presents a complex web of strategic challenges that demand careful analysis and risk assessment. The success of such operations hinges not only on logistical execution but also on comprehensive advance planning that considers market dynamics, regulatory frameworks, and potential contingencies.
