LNG export and import

Q2 2023 vs Q2 2022 (YoY change)

• Small positive change in volume of discharged LNG compared to second quarter last year

• Continued lower export from the US mainly as a result of Freeport LNG incident last year, set to change in the coming quarters

Source: Fearnley LNG

Gas prices

  • Gas prices have come down but remain extremely volatile ahead of another winter in Europe with minimal Russian pipeline gas while Chinese demand is hit by weak economic growth ahead of winter heating period.
  • Prices are still well above historical levels for this time of the year, where high stock levels fend off some of the nervousness while the threat of strike in Australia cause irrational momentary spikes.

Trainspotting

  • ~ 280 MTPA new capacity currently under construction or planning.
  • Continued high activity following Europe's renewed focus on security of supply and high prices for LNG

LNG fleet and orderbook

  • Orderbook for LNGC now stand at 314 of which about 10% are unfixed
  • Limited newbuilding deliveries in 2023 support a strong market for this year
  • Newbuilding cost, payment terms and increasing lead time indicate well above USD 280 million delivered cost

*Including 11 Arc-7 vessels
