Great pick. There might be some near term price pressure on a div cut, but good long term hold I think. Have you looked into $NFE for exposure to LNG? They seem to have high capex (and debt) but their first FLNG should be operational soon.

I haven't looked into $NFE yet, but they are on my list due to Ben Demase at ROI Channel

Hi UVD,

Cool Co is the spin off of LNG carriers and FSRUs from GLNG. GLNG with its FLNG is really an energy infrastructure company and not comparable to carriers. Although, it's also dependent on long term contracts, the gist of the company is their superior technology when providing floating LNG reconverting old vessels. Very interesting company. I am invested since 2019, in Tor Olav I trust.

Thank you for the heads up, I wasn't aware of the GLNG pivot, but it makes sense as that's where the ships came from. Why did Tor Olav sell?

As I understand it, it was a way to rationalize the capital structure of glng and leave only the flng business, without the cyclicality of shipping. Cashing out when they did was a better approach than what did teekay LNG, for example (going private in 2021 I think, I try to forget)

He's more bullish dry bulk and tankers because for shipping I think he's more capital cycle theory investor -hence supply-.

Saw him in a presentation of hshp he did for Marhelm audience and the guy had the Chancellor book. But with glng it's something else.

Yeah, it might be wrong cyclically, but it is cheap enough and pays to wait. I prefer dry bulk, but everything got expensive with the Houthis

Not the capital but the capital ownership structure, it was kind of a mess and the energy infrastructure part was not really valued by the market. Heard about glng in 2019, from a Spanish value fund and in 2020, 2021 there are nice seeking alpha interviews with Gabriel Castro who is a good source of glng analysis on twiter.
