Summary

  • ➢ Market is improving
  • ─ Improvement in rates, utilisation and ballast bonuses expected to continue firming going forward
  • ─ Vessels fixed in the USD 70's pd, levels not seen since 2014
  • ➢ Mid- and long-term demand for LNG transportation remains strong
  • ─ LNG is environmentally friendly, available and affordable
  • ─ We are at the start of the biggest increase of LNG volumes in history
  • ─ Very few long-term charters and limited financing, resulting in restrained newbuilding activity
  • ─ Very few uncommitted newbuildings
  • ─ 15 % of existing fleet is built prior to 2000, smaller and inefficient
  • ➢ Awilco LNG
  • ─ Pure play fully integrated LNG transportation company with excellent operational track record
  • ─ Open vessels in a firming market provides full exposure to increasing rates
  • ─ Refinancing significantly reduces ALNG cash break even, rolling purchase options
  • Awilco LNG is fully financed to 2020, and is ideally positioned for taking advantage of improving market
