Jon Skule Storheill, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"We are pleased to report a full year profit of USD 5.8 million after a
roller-coaster 2022 in the LNG market driven by world events. In the fourth
quarter we resumed profitable on the back of increased earnings from spot and
fixed rate contracts for both vessels. This is set to continue for the next
years, and earnings can be expected to remain solid throughout the next two
years. The market has as usual experienced a seasonal downturn at the start of
the year on the back of a mild winter in Europe in combination with high LNG
inventories. We expect the market conditions to improve throughout the year as
energy security continue to be in focus, as it has been in 2022, and China
returns to the market after reopening. The fixed earnings contracts enable the
company to return value to our shareholders, starting with a payment in first
quarter 2023 which will be proposed to be extended and affirmed at the Annual
General Meeting"

Enclosed is in addition a fourth quarter 2022 presentation. No physical
presentation will be held covering fourth quarter 2022.
