Order of magnitude?

Large (not ultra large) oil tankers might carry 200,000 tonnes and consume 25 ton of heavy bunker fuel per day.

LNG gas carriers equally have their own stats.

Now you just need mean trip times, profit margin, etc. and you're away.

Order of magnitude addition to costs, though, sounds a little extreme.




Once the pipe is built, the maintenance cost is very low, much lower than maintaining and using a tanker.


When ships were attacked in the red sea they started diverting. When nordstream blew up that was it. Something to take into account, at least.

True but it was turned off some time before that happened
