Key Trends in the LNG Shipping Market

Natural Gas becoming

fuel of choice

Strong growth expected

in the LNG market

• Over the next years LNG annual supply is projected to rise by at least 130 million tonnes (mt)

to ~420 mt in 2021, coming from both new liquefaction plants and existing projects ramping

up capacity

• IEA predicts global energy demand will increase by 30% by 2040. Natural gas represents

25% of the world’s energy mix

• LNG is currently growing seven times faster than pipeline gas trade and is expected to

account for 50% of globally traded gas in 2035 (up from 32% today)

• Both total consumption and the number of countries importing LNG are expected to increase

significantly over the next 10-15 years from 39 to 80+ countries

LNGC fleet

development

• The LNG shipping market is expected to tighten significantly from end 2018 as new LNG

export projects from primarily US, Australia and Russia becomes operational

• ~90% of the LNGC newbuildings on the orderbook are committed on long-term charters

• Modern two-stroke tonnage (MEGI and X-DF vessels) bring significant advantages to

Charterers in form of fuel savings and reduced boil off rates

Activity in the LNG spot

shipping market

continues to grow

• The LNG shipping market has transitioned from traditional long-term chartering contracts to

an increasingly liquid spot market led by portfolio trading and more destination flexibility in

LNG supply contracts

• The level of spot chartering in LNG topped 300 fixtures in 2017 (up from 230 in 2016), which

corresponded to ~25% of all LNG produced globally

Underfunded LNG NB Orderbook Shipping market begins to tighten

The LNG shipping market is expected to gradually tighten from the end of 2018, with Australia, the U.S. and Russia being the

driving forces for soaking up tonnage

• During Q2-Q3 2018 shipping balance is forecasted to increase due to delivery of newbuildings ahead of project start-up. On the

other hand, new volumes from e.g. Cove Point and Yamal LNG may counter this effect

• Late 2018 / Early 2019 the shipping balance starts to tighten as new export capacity comes to the market and outdated tonnage

comes off charter and will result in vessel replacement

• In 2020, additional export projects starts producing, triggering vessel demand against a thin orderbook

# Vessels

Vast majority of LNGC orderbook is committed to long

term charters

• Currently, there are 94 LNGC under construction

• ~90% of the LNGC newbuildings on order have long-term

employment to dedicated projects or portfolios

FLEX LNG owns 6 out of the 15 LNG vessels available

for long-term chartering from H2 2019

• Limited ordering – only 20 LNGC contracted over the last

two years, record-low NB prices have not triggered

speculative orders

• Ramp up of global LNG volumes is expected to drive

strong demand for modern tonnage

• Incremental LNGC demand 30-50 vessels by 2020

• Fleet renewals likely to add to demand for modern

efficient LNGCs

• Charterers prefer larger & more efficient LNGCs

• Most of the recent long-term charters have been

MEGI or X-DF vessels

ST TFDE MEGI/X-DF Assessment

Introducing Two Stroke Propulsion for LNG Carriers

• For many years steam turbines was the only propulsion

system available for LNG ships, even though its efficiency

was considerably lower than diesel engines

• However, with the introduction of the reliquefaction plant

and gas-driven diesel engines, it is today possible to install

high-efficiency diesel engines as prime movers, and

thereby significantly cut fuel costs

• Owners and Charterers are provided with maximum fuel

flexibility and, depending on the relative price and

availability of gas and fuel oil, are free to choose the most

competitive fuel as the engine operates with the same

efficiency on both gas and fuel.

• The Diesel-cycle ensures stable gas combustion under all

weather conditions, such as heavy weather and high

ambient temperatures, without any risk of misfiring or

knocking.

• For a typical long-haul trade the new and more efficient

twin screw LNGC design with MEGI engines will have an

average daily fuel consumption [gas and fuel oil] of ~30%

less than the TFDE LNG carriers. This corresponds to a

saving of more than 35 tonnes of fuel per day in HFO

equivalents at 16 knots.

The FSRU market is poised to grow substantially over the

next five years

• Growth of LNG supply, low LNG prices, energy deficits,

security of supply issues and fuel switching due to mandated

emissions reductions are prime drivers

• NB FSRU are flexible, efficient and cost competitive

compared to conversions (with current yard prices)

• Based on the current supply-demand outlook, there is

potential for 12-15 new FSRU projects contracted by 2021

FLEX LNG has a highly experienced commercial and

technical team to succeed in the FSRU market

• FLEX LNG is actively pursuing FSRU opportunities and plan

to establish a presence in the FSRU market

• FLEX LNG will consider placing orders for NB FSRU to meet

the demand of fast track projects

• FSRU newbuildings can be delivered in 27-30 months

FLEX FSRU newbuildings will have state of the art design

incorporating latest technologies and lessons learned

• Newbuilding prices of FSRUs have fallen and compete

favourably with conversion economics
