US Propane Stocks Climb to 1.533 Billion Barrels
US commercial propane and propylene stocks rose to 1.533 billion barrels for the week ended July 17, up from 1.527 billion the week before, according to EIA data. Total petroleum stocks were up 6.5 million barrels over the same week as crude oil inventories also increased.
LPG Import Recovery Faces Hurdles Despite Strong July Uptick
Global LPG import demand is recovering unevenly, according to Vortexa. The arbitrage window for U.S. exports to Asia stayed closed for most of June but has turned favorable again more recently, keeping the incentive for U.S. exporters to ship east. Vortexa flags structural headwinds that could limit how far the recovery extends.
LPG Tanker Struck Off Romanian Coast, Three Wounded
The LPG tanker Gas Lisbon, sailing under a Liberian flag and bound for Ukraine, was struck roughly 20 nautical miles off the Romanian coast, Romanian President Nicusor Dan said. Three crew members were wounded in the attack. The vessel had departed Romania carrying propane cargo before it was hit.

Puerto Rico's Propane Imports From the Mainland Surge Under Jones Act Waiver
Puerto Rico has bought more U.S. propane in the past four months than in the previous 22 years combined, after receiving a temporary Jones Act waiver, according to a Washington Post analysis. Cato Institute research shows the U.S. became the territory's top propane supplier once the waiver took effect, displacing prior seaborne suppliers. The surge has reopened the debate in Washington over making the waiver permanent.
