We provide LNG shipping, ethane transportation and FSUs. Additionally, we are well positioned to offer a broader range of LNG asset-based solutions, including Floating Storage Regasification Units (FSRUs) and Floating Storage Regasification Powerplants (FSRPs), to meet evolving market demands. To support the global energy transition, we are exploring liquefied carbon dioxide (LCO₂) carriers in collaboration with the NED division. We are committed to efficiency and sustainability, as we uphold the highest HSSE standards while delivering reliable and progressive solutions for the evolving LNG market. WHAT WE DO HAZRIN HASAN Vice President, Gas Assets & Solutions In 2024, Gas Assets & Solutions operated in a dynamic landscape shaped by energy security concerns, financial volatility, environmental pressures and rapid technological advancements. Industry-wise, the influx of newbuild vessels intensified competition within the LNG market, where supply growth remained limited due to delays in new liquefaction projects. Together, this led to challenges in securing new contracts for our older vessels approaching the end of their long-term charters. As a result, we had to navigate lower spot market rates, reduced earning days and lower vessel utilisation. These factors and higher provision for impairments impacted our financial performance in 2024. Despite these challenges, we remained resilient and agile, focusing on our ongoing fleet rejuvenation efforts to re-energise our business. This year, we made good progress in the renewal of our fleet by securing five long-term time charters, comprising two with PLL and three with QatarEnergy, for modern and eco-efficient LNGCs. These new vessels, scheduled for deliveries in 2026-2027, are expected to contribute to revenue and cash flow growth. In addition, we also monetised selected LNGC assets to unlock capital and made further progress on the modification of one of our LNGCs into an FSU to ensure continued value creation from our assets. Throughout the year, we also upheld our core principles of Care and Comply, prioritising the safety and well-being of our employees, contractors and the environment. Looking ahead, despite challenging market conditions, we remain committed to operational excellence and prudent financial management while strengthening our long-term revenue base to create sustainable value for our stakeholders.
