North Asia's liquefied natural gas importers are making earlier-than-usual moves to stock up ahead of the winter, after they were caught flat-footed this year by a sudden cold blast that sent spot rates skyrocketing to a record.

Other buyers in China, Japan and South Korea are considering following suit, said the traders, who requested anonymity to discuss private details.
