| Statement |

| We are glad to have delivered high and safe utilization, which have generated consistent financial performance |
| In the meantime, the partnership remains financially resilient with a strong contracted revenue position of $699 million at the end of Q4 on fixed contracts, which average two years in duration |
| We are pleased with the new contracts and extensions we've secured during the quarter and since, along with our ability to navigate our refinancing needs and CapEx relating to dry docks throughout last year |
| On Slide 16 we include some reminders of the strong fundamentals of our business in the market we serve, our assets, competitive landscape, robust contractual footprint, and resilient finances |
| Our pattern of cash generation and liquidity balance is sufficient for our operations and the significant paydown rate for our debt and we have demonstrated the strength of our relationships with the lending banks by several refinancings completed over the last year |
| On slide 5, our outlook remains positive on both industry dynamics and the partnership's positioning to participate fruitfully in our markets |
| We believe that recent reports of up to six vessel construction contracts are an endorsement of the strong anticipated market conditions in the medium and longer term and do not think this is an excessive amount of added supply in the context |
| Our practice with a significant repayment such as this is to seek a refinancing, and our track record demonstrates the viability of this approach |
| And we think any shuttle tanker is better equipped to earn higher rates in the shuttle tanker market rather than in the conventional market and that goes for both, us operating or potential purchaser |
| As we have said our top priorities remain securing additional contract coverage for our existing fleet and fostering our liquidity position |
| We see recently reported orders of around six vessels as an endorsement of confidence in the sector |
| There is very significant committed demand growth coming in the Brazilian market in the form of new FPSOs that will require regular service from shuttle tankers |
| On Slides 13 and 14, we have provided some useful illustrations of the strong demand dynamics in the Brazilian market as published by Petrobras |
| Good |
| On the Cisne and Sabia asset values in the traditional tanker market are pretty healthy |
| Great |
| And our continued commercial focus remains on filling up utilization for 2024 while looking further forward to longer-term charter visibility and liquidity generation |
| Poe Fratt Can you talk about the backlog? There was a pretty healthy increase in the backlog of to $699 million from $645 million from the time of the third quarter call |
| Liam Burke Great |

| A measured amount of new shuttle tanker ordering is imperative and should not be understood as some sort of negative development for the sector |
| So expect a little bit of downtime |
