• The Opex index is generated using the same assumptions as the ClarkSea Index for comparison purposes.

• In February 2013, the two indexes reached their smallest differential in the downturn – just $508 per day across the 20,000 ships in the “ClarkSea fleet”.

• In May 2008, the differential was $40,633 per day and equated to $680 million dollars a day across the “ClarkSea” fleet.

Seaborne Trade Growth & The World Economy

Historically, world seaborne trade expansion has generally been relatively well correlated to global economic growth.

Sea trade cycles generally follow cycles in world GDP – but not precisely. 2014 – 3.6% GDP growth and 4.2% growth in trade?

Seaborne Trade Outlook

We estimate that trade has grown by 3.9% in 2013 – a reasonable performance in a tough economic climate.

China accounts for over 40% of the growth in imports in the past decade.

For planning purposes, 4% per annum growth in trade over the next decade does not seem unreasonable, backed by continued development of the globalised world economy.

Model makes allowance for vessel productivity trends.

Vessel speed estimates focus on the key volume sectors.

Less clear picture in the more industrial/niche sectors.

It appears that compared to pre-recession standard speeds, current average speeds for bulkers and tankers are around 2.0 knots down and containerships around c.4.0 knots down.

Compared to six months ago we have adjusted 2013 bulker speeds down by 0.5 knots and containership speeds down by 0.25 knots.

Vessel requirement projections assume trending out of average service speeds for containerships at around current speed levels, with averages for tankers and bulkers trending back to around 2010/11 levels in the long-term.

Regional Ownership – Europe v Asia• During the market boom, European ownership

grew strongly and maintained market share with around 45% of global fleet by GT.

• There has been a long term trend towards Asia/Pacific ownership which topped 40% in 2013.

• Greece and Japan are the two biggest fleets, with the Greek fleet overtaking the Japanese fleet in 2013. China has overtaken Germany to take third position and the fleet is growing rapidly. German fleet declined in 2013.

• In the past five years, Brazil, China, Turkey, South Korea and Indonesian fleets have grown the most in percentage terms.

• 70% of the world is in Open Registries compared to 30% in the 1980s,

Environmental Issues: OverviewIssue Regulation Overview Latest Position

Vessel Design/ Efficient

Technology

MARPOL Annex VI - Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI)

Economic factors: High Bunker Prices

Low Vessel Earnings

Energy-efficiency and regulatory concerns have seen a number of developments in vessel design and

technology in recent years. These include hull, propeller, rudder and engine improvements.

E.g. Ulstein X-Bow, Becker Mewis Duct, rudder bulb, Kappel Propeller, bulbuous bows, diesel-electric engines, Waste Heat Recycling System,

Mitsubishi Air Lubrication System.

Emission Control Areas (ECAs)

MARPOL Annex VI "Regulations for the Prevention of Air Pollution from

Ships"

Vessels operating within ECAs are subject to stricter emission (SOx and NOx) limits

Current ECAs: Baltic Sea (SOx, 2006), North Sea (SOx, 2008), North American Sea (SOx, NOx and PM, 2012), US Caribbean Sea (SOx,

NOx and PM, 2014)

NOx MARPOL Annex VI NOx emission limits are set in three tiers for diesel

engines depending on the engine maximum operating speed and year of build

Tier I - 2008, Global limit for ships built 2000 – 2011

Tier II -2011, Global limit for ships built > 2010

Tier III – 2016*, ECA limit for ships built > 2015 (Tier II outside ECAs)

SOX and Particulate

Matters (PM)MARPOL Annex VI

Caps on the sulphur content of fuel oil to control SOx

emissions and, indirectly, PM emissions Sulphur Limit in Fuel (% m/m) Inside ECAs - 1.0% (0.1% in 2015)

Global - 4.5% trimmed to 3.5% with effect in 2012 (0.5% in 2020**)

CO2 MARPOL Annex VI

Introduction of an EEDI for newbuilds > 400 GT, with an aim to reduce a vessel's CO2 emissions per capacity

mile, and a SEEMP for existing vessels, so as to improve operational efficiency

EEDI for newbuilds & SEEMP for existing vessels mandatory - 2013 Reduction of EEDI reference line in three stages (2015, 2020, 2025)

Ballast WaterInternational Convention for the

Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments

Aims to prevent the transfer of harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens through the control and management of ships´ ballast water and sediments

Adopted by IMO in 2004, the convention will enter into force 24 months after the date on which 15 states (40% of global GT) have ratified it.

Currently 38 signatories (30.6% of global GT)

Inert GasSOLAS "International Convention

for the Safety of Life at Sea"

Tankers >20,000 dwt are required to protect cargo tanks by a fixed inert gas system in compliance with the IMO's

Fire Safety Systems Code

Effective as of 1974. Draft amendments, which will lower the dwtrequirement to 8,000 dwt for newbuilds, have been discussed

OilSTS Plan Ship-to-Ship transfer plan

New chapter and clearer definition of tanks (regulation 1) entered into force January 1, 2011

Heavy Grade Oil Prohibition of heavy grade oil in the Antarctic Sea. Effective as of August 1, 2011

Ship RecyclingThe Hong Kong Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound

Recycling of Ships

Once ratified, shipowners will need: an inventory of hazardous materials, a ship recycling plan, permission from the flag state to to conduct a final survey and an

international ready for recycling certificate

The convention will enter into force 24 months after the date on which 15 states (40% of global GT) have ratified it. Norway is currently the

only signatory (1.5% of global GT)

* draft amendments delaying implementation to 2021 will be considered, with a view to adoption, at the MEPC 66 in 2014 ** subject to review into availability of low sulphur fuel due to be completed in 2018, with option to delay implementation to 2025

• Across the global fleet above 2,000gt (50,000 ships), the global crewing requirements are approximately 1.2 million.

• In numeric terms the global fleet is growing at around at approximately one third to a half of the growth in tonnage terms due to upsizing.

• This suggests the rate of growth in crew requirements is slowing

5. Summary

January 2014

19/05/2014

www.clarksons.com 57

Summary• In 2013 we were at the bottom of the cycle and while market conditions are still challenging there are a few

encouraging signs. Some of the niche sectors have been better positioned – Offshore, Gas, Chemicals, Products. The year ended with some better markets - in part driven by seasonal demand.

• Following the demand shock in 2009, trade has recovered well and we estimate 3.9% growth in full year 2013. In 2014 we forecast trade will top 10 billion tonnes for the first time and there is upside on 2013 growth if the business cycle moves forward. 4% is a reasonable base case for the future assuming globalisation but watch out for “wildcards”. Offshore activity has been growing strongly but recent oil major “push back” on cost.

• Fleet growth is slowing, from 8% in 2011 to 5% in 2012. We recorded growth of 3.8% in 2013 - this was 1% lower than our forecast in December 2012 due to slower output at Chinese yards. Our forecast for 2014 and 2015 is region 3.6% but keep an eye on increased ordering and speed.

• Despite the difficult spot market conditions, there was a significant increase in newbuilding contracting and sale and purchase activity during 2013. Financing remains difficult for smaller owners and has limited investment but availability improving for “top tier” and Private Equity & Capital Markets are important.

• Some consolidation trends and growth of public listed fleets. Asian owners growing market share with double the fleet growth of Europeans in 2013. Greeks and Japanese the largest owners but China has surged past Germany. Norwegian’s, Greeks and Chinese have topped investment charts in recent years.

• Fuel economics has had a major impact on investment decisions and monitoring now important – large owners able to micro manage and have an advantage. Regulation a large and growing issue but decisions are difficult.
