Per Heiberg, Interim Chief Executive Officer, commented:
“The war in the Middle East completely changed the LNG market in first quarter 2026. The market started the quarter on a weak note, but the outbreak of the war created a significant disturbance in the market. Several vessels are stuck inside the Strait of Hormuz and up to 20% of the world’s LNG production are unable to be transported to its receivers. Initially rates climbed to extreme highs before coming off but they currently are higher than prior to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Uncertainty about how long the situation will last persist. For the Company the impact on first quarter results is limited, however one of our vessels has since been fixed on a multi-month charter at improved levels. The successful Private Placement of approximately USD 26 million will enable us to provide funding of our LNG trading initiative, ALNG Trading.”
