NVGS is more of a structural play than a cyclical. as the export pipes and terminals for ng and ng liquids come on line in the us and middle east, that represents a considerable opportunity for nvgs. there is a trend in the petrochemical industry moving to lighter higher value condensates and ng and away from oil and as more export terminals come on line I think that trend will accelerate.
I think their revenue is more dependent on worldwide transport capacity rather than the price of the commodity, much like pipelines.
