10. LPG Trade Historically Driven by Middle East Exports to Asia

U.S. LPG Trade: International Prices Support Exports
LPG produced in the U.S. is the cheapest in the world due to
surging production
LPG needs to be shipped due to limited domestic demand, high
storage cost and the Kyoto Protocol’s prohibition of gas flaring
LPG price differential between Saudi Aramco, US Mont Belvieu and
Asia have seen Japan LPG imports from the US surged
Price of propane and butane cargoes for delivery along the
Singapore-Japan route reached lowest levels since July 2010

Overview of LPG Trade DynamicsU.S. LPG Trade
U.S. LPG Export GrowthDemand for U.S. Exports Continues to Increase
U.S. LPG exports are forecasted to triple by 2016 to 12.1mm tons
(11% global total), up from 4.5mm tons in 2011 (4% global total)
Current US gas plant production of propane is 780 MBPD vs 694
MBPD in May 2012
Propane exports reached 308 MBPD vs 149 MBPD in 2012, while
propane imports declined to 59 MBPD from 115 MBPD.
Targa is expected to complete its propane export terminal expansion
to load an additional 40-50 MBPD for exports

LPG Timecharter Rates
The LPG space remains smaller than other shipping
segments with a negative fleet growth currently
projected from 2013 onwards
More than 20% of the 3,000 – 8,000 cbm fleet is
20+ years old
Only 21 vessels in the size of 3,000 - 8,000 cbm are
on order for delivery over the next three years
Small orderbook and strong demand dynamics
support stable charter rates
($ Thousands / Month)
LPG time charter rates have remained far more stable than those of peer sectors
