Vessel demand

TRADEWAR (WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR)??

Vessels needed to transport 1 MTPA of LNG

  • Using historical vessel multiplier 1.3x shipping need is about 145 vessels for 2020–2026 volumes
    • US volumes so far requiring about 1.8 ships / MT leading to 170+ vessels needed
    • In 2026 130 ships (25 %) in the present fleet will be +20 years
  • 76 steam vessels coming off mid- and long-term contracts 2019 2024, of which ~85 % 120'–140' cbm ships
    • Modern vessels have economic advantage, however 174,000 cbm vessels in most cases too big

LNG as a fuel

  • 13 % of China's LNG imports in 2018 used by HD trucks and buses
  • Over 2,500 filling stations
  • Annual production of abt 115,000 LNG fuelled trucks
  • 20 % higher capex, 10-30 % cheaper fuel and payback < 1 year

LNG AS MARINE FUEL

  • Doubling of global fleet of LNG fueled vessels next 2-3 years, from abt 150 to 300 vessels
  • LNG bunkering available in 24 of 25 of largest ports
  • Potential market 200 MTPA (~60 % of LNG trade in 2018)
  • DNV GL states that LNG is the only viable marine fuel until at least 2050
  • First LNG fuelled VLCC ordered this week
