Summary

➢ Increasing volumes and sailing distances creating a firm market – despite influx of newbuildings

  • ─ Winter market high of USD 80's pd and shoulder season low of USD 40' pd in 2017/2018 vs USD 45' pd and USD 28' pd in 2016/2017 - seasonality still valid
  • ─ US production and Chinese demand driving ton/mile increase
  • ─ Market turned in early May, charterers appear to be positioning for a firm 2nd half 2018
  • ➢ Mid- and long-term demand for LNG transportation remains strong
  • ─ We are at the start of the biggest increase of LNG volumes in history; global gas demand and oil price increase is expected to trigger FIDs in the near future for the next liquefaction wave
  • ─ Expected LNG glut now seen as gone
  • ─ 77 vessels built prior to 2000, smaller and inefficient
  • ➢ Awilco LNG
  • ─ Pure play fully integrated LNG transportation company with excellent operational track record
  • ─ Spot vessels provides full exposure to increasing activity and rates
  • ─ Refinancing significantly reduces ALNG cash break even, rolling purchase options
  • ➢ Awilco LNG's vessels are trading spot and ideally positioned for taking advantage of improving market
