Corporate Update
BW LPG successfully listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on 29 April
2024, while maintaining the current listing on the Oslo Stock Exchange (OSE).

The Company is in the process of redomiciling from Bermuda to Singapore. A
Scheme Meeting will be held in Bermuda on 12 June. More information is available
in the press release dated 21 May 2024 "BW LPG Limited - Notice of Scheme
meeting regarding redomiciling to Singapore".

Market Outlook
At the start of 2024, VLGC spot rates for the US/Far East route soared to nearly
$140,000/day.

However, as in previous years during January and February, a cold snap in the US
increased domestic demand for LPG and temporarily reduced production, leading to
a significant rise in US LPG prices. Concurrently, demand in the Far East
declined resulting in falling LPG prices in Asia. Following a decrease in fixing
activity and a rapid collapse of the US/Far East LPG price arbitrage during
January and early February, spot rates fell by approximately 90% during that
period.

After spot rates bottomed out around OPEX levels in early February, the market
experienced a significant recovery, driven by recalibrated product prices and
strong US LPG export growth. The EIA reports that YTD average net propane
exports from the US have increased by 14% compared to the same period in 2023.
The demand side also picked up, and China's imports of LPG delivered on VLGCs
grew by 6% in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period last year.
By the end of May, spot rates reached the high $60,000s/day.

The futures market reflects continued strength in spot earnings, trading in the
low to mid $60,000s/day for the remainder of 2024.

Transit restrictions in the Panama Canal changed more rapidly than anticipated
in January, allowing more VLGCs to transit through the Canal. By the end of the
first quarter, the number of daily slots had normalized to levels seen in the
summer of 2023. However, we anticipate that congestion may occur from time to
time, depending on usage by container and LNG vessels, and the canal's water
level.

At the beginning of 2024, the global VLGC fleet stood at 378 vessels. Since
then, 16 VLGCs have been added, bringing the current fleet to 394. Over the next
18 months, we observe a sharply abating number of newbuildings for delivery,
with six additional VLGCs to be added for the remainder of 2024 and 13 scheduled
for delivery in 2025.
