Spot rates

  • Rates in the spot market have been seen at all time low levels where the most modern vessels have been willing to accept rates at, or very close to \$0 per day from relets in order to kill time while remaining cold. This is a result of most US volumes going the short route to Europe instead of the expected volumes to Far East leading to a large surplus of vessels available in the Atlantic.
  • Muted activity on multi-month deals at such low levels although some deals have been done linked to index structures

LNG export and import

Q4 2024 vs Q4 2023 (YoY change)

• European import continue to decrease year over year for the quarter due to high gas prices and muted demand

  • Increased Asian import, primarily to China partly compensated shortage of European import
  • Limited growth in US export in 2024, set to increase massively going forward

Source: Fearnley LNG

Gas prices

• Gas prices remain high in Europe due to low storage levels and a fairly cold winter with Far Eastern prices unwilling to compete

• No arbitrage opportunities between Europe and Asia and no contango to support floating storage

Trainspotting – new LNG production

  • ~ 355 MTPA new capacity currently under construction or in advanced stages of development, of which ~200 MTPA have FID
  • Several new LNG projects in the US are gearing up encouraged by the new administration

Summary

- The Company report a positive result for the quarter and full year of USD 1.5 million and USD 17.1 million respectively

  • www.awilcolng.no 17 WilForce continue to trade in a challenging spot market, idle periods must be expected A comfortable cash position, reduced cash brake-even and one vessel trading on a fixed rate contract until December 2025 leaves the company well prepared to meet the current challenging market Mid- and long-term demand for LNG transportation remains strong ─ Disruptions in trade patterns will increase ton-mile until resolved ─ Depressed rates and continued high delivery of new buildings increasing phase-out of older and smaller steam vessels ─ LNG volumes are set to grow massively going forward with several FIDs recently taken and more expected ─ WilForce trading in the spot market, while actively pursuing longer contracts ─ WilPride fixed until December 2025 + 2 year option
