Floating LNG Import Terminals (FSRU) – Operations
1
An FSRU is permanently moored close
to the market
2
An LNG carrier approaches the FSRU
and the LNG is transferred to the FSRU
3
The FSRU continuously regasifies the
LNG and sends high-pressure natural
gas to shore
5
Why FSRUs?
Land-Based LNG Import Terminal
6
Floating Storage & Regasification (FSRU)

Takes half the time to build

Approximately half the cost

Flexibility to be moved to another location or trade as an LNG transport vessel

Three out of four newcomers to LNG imports in 2015 will use FSRUs

LNG Demand Picture

Global LNG trade is set to expand by one-third from 2014 to 2019

Increase in global LNG trade supported by Asia – mostly China and non-OECD Asia

New markets opening up in Latin America and Middle East

Lower Crude Oil Prices Lead To Lower LNG Prices (Up to a Point)…
70% of the LNG world wide is currently sold under long term contracts linked to oil….
 Asian LNG contract prices are typically at around 85% of crude oil parity
 Continental European contract prices are typically at 60-65% of crude oil parity
 S- curve (cap and floor) is limiting price fluctuations
… the remainder is linked to natural gas hubs and/or sold spot
 Spot prices have dropped significantly as a result of the drop in oil price
− 60% y/y in Asia
− 30% y/y in Europe
 U.S. export starting later this year will introduce a new HH dynamic to the market
14
…Lower LNG Prices Lead to Increased Demand for LNG

Lower LNG prices makes LNG available to price sensitive and new clients/markets

India is a good example; Petronet expects LNG demand to increase up to 300% at current LNG

Summary

HLNG / HMLP is the market leader in the FSRU segment on a world-wide basis

Stable cash flows from critical infrastructure on long term contract especially well suited to MLPs

The LNG market is projected to grow 5-6% per year over the next 10 years

FSRUs have over the last 3-4 years become the preferred LNG import solution for new markets
due to low cost, short schedule and increased flexibility compared to a land based terminal

Lower LNG prices increase demand for LNG → increased demand for LNG import infrastructure
and increased demand for FSRUs
