TPLNG have since facilitated the sale and purchase of over 70 cargoes, assisted with the entry strategy of successful LNG trading businesses, negotiated regasification capacity options and been involved in a number of deals that have been industry firsts.

In 2014, Melissa added an LNG trading consultancy arm to the business and has advised on the marketing of new project volumes out of West Africa, and established leading monthly report, TPLNG Outlook.
