  3. Market update

  4. Summary

LNG Rates

  • Continued weak market with low rates and low utilisation
  • Low gas prices eliminates arbitrage and reduces trading activity

Source: Fearnley LNG

LNG price

USD/MMBTU

  • At present Far East buyers are absent from the spot market, which is pushing spot prices down
  • Arbitrage opportunities from Atlantic to Far East are eliminated but Middle East has absorbed some volumes
  • When will the low Asia demand lead to LNG transported from East to West?

Inter-Basin Trade

  • Average distance was down by 9.6% in Q1 while trade (MT) was down 29% compared to same period last year
  • Average distance was down by 3% and trade up by 13 % compared to Q4 2015

Source: Clarksons Platou

New LNG trades

GORGON, AUSTRALIA PACIFIC AND GLADSTONE CARGOES

SABINE PASS CARGOES

  • Low LNG demand leads to market inefficiencies
  • Gladstone cargo reported on its way to Atlantic and Sabine Pass cargoes shipped to India: increased ton-mile
  • Cargoes are resold and changing destination : increased ton-time

LNG export

  • LNG production increased by 5% compared to same period last year
  • The significant increased production capacity from Australia is materialising

LNG imports

Q1 2016
Region Imports
(MTPA)
∆ '16/'15
Europe 11.3 +13%
Americas 4.0 -
37%
Middle
East
2.7 + 581%
NE
Asia
41.4 - 3%
Other Asia 7.0 + 64%
World Total 66.4 4.5%
  • India and China finally increasing imports
  • Europe showing growth, but nothing spectacular
  • Japan's imports are down from last year, Korea pretty flat

LNG Production

  • Australia Pacific and Sabine Pass started production in Q1 2016
  • Both Angola and Gorgon expected to re-start in May and Sabine T2 started commissioning
  • In total 11 new production trains are scheduled for start-up in 2016 with full capacity of 46 MTPA
  • Total production capacity in 2020 is estimated to be 450 MTPA up 80% from 2015 production!

LNG Fleet orderbook

Newbuilding deliveries by quarter

  • Only 7 vessels delivered in 2016
  • On paper 37 LNG carriers scheduled for delivery during remainder of 2016
  • Ship-owners not in hurry to take delivery and yards have reduced capacity, we expect substantial delays in deliveries
  • Orderbook as of end Q1 2016 was 129 LNG carriers
  • No new orders since October 15

Agenda 13/05 2016

  1. Company Overview and Highlights Q1

  2. Financials Q1

  3. Market update

  4. Summary

Summary

  • Disappointing market development in Q1 2016 with low rates and low utilisation due to:
  • ─ Overhang of vessels
  • ─ Reduced ton-mile
  • In order for an substantial improvement we need to see available vessels absorbed by:
  • ─ Continued increase of LNG production 46 MTPA scheduled to start in 2016
  • ─ Increased ton-mile low LNG price in Asia opens up for reverse arbitrage
  • ─ Lay-up of less efficient vessels one owner has done, more to follow?
  • Long term shipping demand for LNG remain strong
  • ─ We are at the start of the biggest increase in LNG volumes in history
  • ─ No newbuilding orders last 7 months and "none" expected for rest of the year

Awilco LNG – summary

  • Still disappointing earnings and utilisation on WilPride
  • Market recovery is slow but heading in right direction
  • Preserving cash with layups and cost reductions
  • The LNG market is cyclical requires patience and diligent hard work
