  3. Market update

  4. Summary

Rate development

• Rates declining since peak in 2011/2012 – when will we reach the bottom?

• LNG demand remains firm – lack of LNG remains the challenge for transportation

Source: Arctic Securities

LNG trade YTD Oct '13

Export

Import

• Exports reduced due to disruptions (Nigeria) – Depletion (Indonesia) – Domestic consumption (Egypt)

• Imports up in Far East – down Europe

Source: DNB Markets

World LNG fleet by year built

  • Total orderbook of 97 LNGC of which 27 open
  • 33 vessels are scheduled for delivery in 2014, of which 17 are available delays likely
  • 2014 has started on a weak trend, and it looks like it will be a challenging year

Source: Fearnleys LNG

Deliveries in percentage of fleet

LNG fleet CBM - orderbook in percentage

  • If newbuildings are adjusted by 2 months (delay/positioning) + assumed exit of 8 vessels: 2014 fleet growth estimate is 6 %
  • Exit of vessels is picking up as newbuildings are delivered: 3 vessels exited in 2013 and 2 vessels YTD 2014
  • Fleet growth will likely lead to a more challenging market for steam vessels than TFDE due to efficiency

Source: Fearnleys LNG, Arctic

LNG export assumptions

LNG exports

  • 2013 estimates shows a decline in LNG export for 2nd year in a row first time ever
  • Potentially 12 16 MTPA increased production estimate for 2014
  • A total of 77 MTPA of new production capacity and ramp up is scheduled by end 2016
  • 77 MTPA new LNG production requires 95 110 vessels depending upon trading route
  • Production delays will always be an issue

  2. Financials Q4

  3. Market update

  4. Summary

Summary Market

Short / Medium term market – particularly challenging for steam vessels

  • Increased production not likely to keep up with scheduled newbuilding deliveries in 2014
  • Production may surprise on upside with limited disruptions
  • Older / steam vessels likely to be most affected due to inefficiency
  • Exit of older vessels likely to pick up considerably reducing tonnage surplus

Long term fundamentals – remain positive

  • Demand for LNG is outpacing supply
  • China, Far East and South America increasing demand continuously
  • Liquefaction capacity is set for dramatic growth next 5-10 years
  • Australia and U.S. 2015-18 East Africa and Canada thereafter

Summary Awilco LNG

  • Acquired, financed and operating three 2nd gen vessels
  • Established the organisation and in-house technical management
  • Ordered and supervised the construction of two newbuildings
  • Financed newbuildings
  • Maiden voyage WilForce
  • Midterm contract WilForce
  • Maiden voyage WilPride
  • Midterm contract WilPride
  • Project WilPower
