Agenda 31/08 2017

Summary

  • ➢ Firming market, but still seasonal and volatile
  • ─ Improvement in rates, activity and ballast bonuses in Q2, further improvement in Q3 and is expected to continue firming going forward
  • ─ As the LNG production capacity increases, fleet overcapacity will gradually be absorbed
  • ─ Big 3 China, Korea and Japan all showing increasing appetite for LNG
  • ➢ Mid- and long-term demand for LNG transportation remains strong
  • ─ 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 uncomitted newbuildings
  • ─ 15 % of existing fleet is built prior to 2000, is smaller and inefficient
  • ➢ Agreement with Teekay 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
