<strong>The</strong>re vessel is has very all little but to dried report up with again. regards It is to suspected the status that of US there <strong>LNG</strong> are imports a few available as most flexible<br />

pricing renewed maintaining tightness a the spread benchmark of over $1/mmbtu daily spot there charter are rate no incentives has moved to bring up from <strong>LNG</strong> to the<br />
States, the exception being, of course, high liquids-content <strong>LNG</strong> at Lake Charles.<br />
$40,000 per day last week to roughly $46,000 per day for a newer carrier with<br />
cold tanks.<br />
Our April Imports figures were adjusted slightly upwards from 37 bcf to the 40 bcf level<br />
accounting for the addition of one tanker arrival at Elba Island according to the most<br />
recent FERC data. Meanwhile one tanker arrival of 1.7 bcf that was reported in the April<br />
FERC data at the Everett terminal is being questioned and has been omitted from the<br />
<strong>Waterborne</strong> figures until it can be verified. Meanwhile our May import estimate of 31 bcf<br />
remains unchanged.<br />
<strong>Waterborne</strong> June <strong>LNG</strong> import estimates have increased slightly with the addition of one<br />
Elba Island delivery bringing the total to 33 bcf. <strong>The</strong>re is also information that Cove Point<br />
could receive both a tanker from Norway and a Trinidad sourced cargo that would push<br />
the figures up to the 36 bcf level, although with stronger netbacks in just about every other<br />
<strong>LNG</strong> importing country in the Atlantic Basin this seems unlikely.<br />
Surprisingly July estimates are still a bit stronger that previous months amid the prospects<br />
of renewed global production after a series of planned and unplanned outages spanning<br />
from Malaysia, Norway, Oman, Egypt, Qatar, Australia and Trinidad during the months of<br />
April and May. Preliminary projections show potential import levels as high as 50 bcf.<br />

Kuwait Samples the Globe for <strong>LNG</strong><br />
Since Kuwait’s 2010 import season began last March, the country has sourced cargoes<br />
from seven different countries. This is a testament to the growing volume of uncommitted<br />
supply which can basically be obtained from anywhere for a price. As mentioned in<br />
previous reports, because of the high value of specialty or counter-seasonal markets such<br />
as Kuwait where landed prices are linked to crude oil, margins are high for suppliers. This<br />
provides a wide selection of supply sources to choose from as is evident from this year’s<br />
imports. In May alone all five deliveries came from five different countries. <strong>The</strong>se<br />
countries include Oman, Belgium, Russia (Sakhalin Is.), Australia and Yemen. Soon to be<br />
added to the list is an Equatorial Guinea delivery expected to arrive in mid June on the BG<br />
tanker “Methane Lydon Volney”. This ex-ship delivery is believed to have been sold to<br />
Vitol.<br />
Kuwaiti <strong>LNG</strong> imports are expected to reach an impressive 104 bcf for the 2010 import<br />
season which ends in October. Last year Kuwait imported 31 bcf although the new facility<br />
only started operations in August.<br />

Repsol’s vessel, the “Barcelona Knutsen” is currently in position to load her inaugural<br />
cargo at the world’s newest liquefaction plant in Peru. <strong>The</strong> 4.45 mmtpa Peru <strong>LNG</strong><br />
production facility is expected to push out about five cargoes per month once the plant<br />
has reached nameplate capacity. <strong>The</strong> first tanker shipment is expected to discharge at<br />
Repsol’s Canaport terminal on the Northeast Coast of Canada.<br />
Petrobras Pulls Cargo into Rio de Janeiro<br />
Last week <strong>Waterborne</strong> erroneously reported the expected arrival of a tanker at the<br />
Brazilian port of Pecem. <strong>Waterborne</strong> now believes that the second delivery into Brazil<br />
this year will be delivered into the Rio de Janeiro terminal on the BG tanker “Seri<br />
Bijaksana” in the next few days. <strong>The</strong> tanker loaded in Trinidad around the 25 th of May.<br />
Qatari <strong>LNG</strong> Outages More Significant that Originally Thought<br />
Reliable market sources have revealed that the widely reported three train outage in<br />
Qatar that have occurred from March through May have been grossly understated and<br />
various circumstances are likely to have played a role in further delays recently<br />
announced on the two remaining mega-trains which are still under construction. In total<br />
from late March through today as many as six trains are believed to have been affected<br />
by planned and unplanned production interruptions across both RasGas and Qatargas<br />
production complexes.<br />
Three Qatargas trains are thought to have gone down over the past 9 weeks. <strong>The</strong> first,<br />
Mega-Train Qatargas 2 Train 4, is thought to have been recently brought back on-line<br />
after a one month planned maintenance program. <strong>The</strong> maintenance programs of two<br />
more conventional sized trains are thought to have been moved forward as well with the<br />
bulk of the outage time occurring during April and May. Meanwhile, three RasGas trains<br />
are believed to have undergone maintenance since late March and consist of two Megatrains<br />
and one conventional size train. It is important to note, however, that train<br />
maintenance is common during the months of April and May, which are shoulder months<br />
for most seasonal importing countries.<br />
This information is being supported by the most recent findings in the “<strong>Waterborne</strong> Global<br />
<strong>LNG</strong> Production Tracker” which shows a 41 bcf drop in Qatari <strong>LNG</strong> production from<br />
March to April with preliminary figures revealing even further reductions in May. <strong>The</strong> next<br />
edition of the production tracker will also reveal significant reductions in production in<br />
Malaysia, Oman, Algeria, Egypt, and Australia during the month of April.<br />
Asian <strong>LNG</strong> Demand on the Up-swing<br />

A recent increase in spot Asian demand for July and August deliveries has pulled spot<br />
price ideas up to the $6.30/mmbtu level for the month and even higher in August. Taiwan<br />
is playing a key role in the spot market this year amid the termination of a long-term<br />
contract out of Indonesia combined with strong domestic demand. Taiwan’s CPC recently<br />
released a spot tender for the purchase of 9 cargoes for delivery in July and August.<br />
Taiwan’s spot presence in the market has been growing in recent months with a total of<br />
four purchases for May and June deliveries.<br />
Meanwhile Japanese and Korean utilities’ spot interest is also on the rise as buyers there<br />
– who are experiencing a seemingly steady economic recovery - are finding <strong>LNG</strong> more<br />
economical compared to petroleum products.<br />

Vol. 7, Week 22<br />
In last weeks issue of the US <strong>Waterborne</strong> <strong>LNG</strong> <strong>Report</strong> we reported that the Total<br />
controlled tanker “Arctic Lady” was en-route to Sabine Pass. We have since learned<br />
that somewhere in between the Northeast US and Florida the tanker was diverted to<br />
Spain. Market intelligence is indicating that the port of Huelva will likely be her final<br />
destination.<br />
RasGas Charters Conventional Carriers for Added Flexibility<br />
RasGas recently chartered in two conventional size carriers to add flexibility to its<br />
existing operations, which include the “Trinity Glory” and the “Maersk Meridian”.<br />
Currently RasGas has 13 Q-flex tankers and 1 Q-Max tanker in its fleet (most of<br />
which are idle at this time) and which are dedicated to the new Mega-Train<br />
production. <strong>The</strong>se volumes were largely earmarked for regas terminals where Qatari<br />
investments had been made although circumstances are now dictating that the option<br />
to deliver volumes to terminals which are not compatible with the larger size tankers<br />
may prove to be useful. Both tankers are thought to have been taken for up to a<br />
year in 3 month incremental option periods. <strong>The</strong> suggested market charter rate for<br />
the tankers is $30,000 to $31,000 per day.<br />
KPC Tender for more August Deliveries<br />
Kuwait Petroleum Corporation issued another spot supply tender for the delivery of<br />
up to two cargoes during the month of August. Bids were to be submitted by May<br />
28 th and remain valid until June 1 st . <strong>The</strong>re is no word as of yet who may have won<br />
the tender. This tender comes on the heels of KPC awarding a previous supply<br />
tender for up to five cargoes per month during the period from April through October.<br />
Shell and Vitol announced they had been awarded the combined volumes for a multiyear<br />
contract. Market intelligence suggests that the award level was somewhere<br />
close to 9-10% of Brent crude oil futures.<br />

<strong>Waterborne</strong> <strong>Energy</strong>, Inc.<br />
Methodology<br />
<strong>The</strong> U.S. <strong>Waterborne</strong> <strong>LNG</strong> <strong>Report</strong> tracks the flow of <strong>LNG</strong> vessels that call on U.S. ports only. <strong>The</strong> report is<br />
a rolling 5 month view of <strong>LNG</strong> imports. Some of the vessel information contained in this report is unconfirmed.<br />
Some forward liftings are based on anticipated vessel rotations and market feedback. Current and forward vessel<br />
schedules are considered incomplete data, and are subject to change. Any information contained in this report<br />
may be modified at any time. <strong>The</strong> volumes are listed in cubic meters and billions of cubic feet (bcf). Volumes in<br />
(bcf) account for a 2% loss of cargo in transit based on a 5 day voyage. Heat content is based on an average of<br />
various port specifications. Historical information prior to June 2003 cited in the summary section of the U.S.<br />
<strong>Waterborne</strong> <strong>LNG</strong> <strong>Report</strong> is sourced from the EIA. Import forecasts are formed by a compilation of<br />
information from various sources and in-house expertise.<br />
