Jon Skule Storheill, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

“We are pleased to report a strong first quarter profit of USD 9.0 million as both vessels have traded on fixed rate contracts with no off-hire throughout the entire period. These contracts ensure solid earnings for the Company in a volatile LNG transportation market. Despite low spot rates in this shoulder season we see interest and rate levels for period charters holding firm and focus from charterers seems to be very much on security of supply going forward. The fixed earnings contracts enable the company to return value to our shareholders and the board resolved and declared a quarterly dividend of NOK 0.50 payable in June 2023”

Enclosed is in addition a first quarter 2023 presentation. No physical presentation will be held covering first quarter 2023.

Note on Alternative performance measures: Alternative performance measures are defined and explained in the APM section of the Quarterly report.
