LNGC Market Fundamentals

Upward trend in LNGC rates

12M term market continues to strengthen despite seasonal weakness in the spot market

LNG Market: Stronger for longer

LNG market is in the midst of a transformation that will lift demand as focus is shifted to diversification of supply

European gas forward market LNG Supply: Up to 150+ mtpa by 2028 Ukraine/Russia effects on the LNG market

Global LNG Market (2021) ~400 million tons

Russian pipeline gas exports to Europe(2021) ~115 million tons LNG = ~25% of global LNG market

Focus on energy security drives diversified gas supply

Energy security producing a strong supply-side reaction

Momentum for new liquefaction is building with new SPAs and fast track projects New liquefaction FIDs

LNG fleet orderbook insufficient for future growth

Both energy security and fleet renewal (LNG prices and IMO) driving demand

Fleet age profile (~600): Older steamers likely to struggle Orderbook: 221x vessels on order with limited availability

Not available Available

Regulatory changes puts supply of LNGCs at risk

EEXI/CII will inevitably impact the LNGC market… …and the large number of steamers are first to feel the pain
