    WORLD SHIPPING 2009A SHARP DECLINE, BUT BETTER THAN

    EXPECTED

    ANALYSES & COMMENTS

    World shipping in general was somewhat better in 2009than we expected at the beginning of the year. It was a

    well-founded fear that we were entering a long-term

    structural overcapacity, a situation where even a robust

    upturn in the global economy was not sufficient to

    absorb the accumulated overcapacity. We wrote on this

    place a year ago that it was necessary to remove 35 to

    40 percent of the order books for bulk carriers and

    container ships and minimum 10 percent of the order

    book for tankers. After 12 months we are still of the

    same opinion, but unfortunately not able to say anything

    precise about the realism for such a scenario. The

    deliveries for bulk as well as for container ships arelagging behind the delivery schedule by between 35 and

    40 percent, for tankers 10 percent behind.

    The growth rate for the world total merchant fleet was

    then somewhat weaker than the 9 to 10 percent we

    expected, the growth now seems have been between 7

    and 8 percent. There is a well-known correlation

    between the global economy and the need for seaborne

    transportation capacity. After many consecutive years

    with exceptionally high global economic growth

    contributing to annual tonnage demand growth of 8 to 9

    percent the need for tonnage seems to have fallen by 3percent in 2009. The utilization rate for the total

    merchant fleet declined from 90 percent last year (as we

    define as full capacity utilization) to 81 percent this

    year, the lowest level since the 1980s.

    The most recent forecasts for the world economy

    indicates a growth in tonnage demand in 2010 of 6 to 7

    percent. If deliveries of newbuildings continue to stretch

    out in time we may see a certain upturn in the utilization

    rate, but it is a long way to go before we reach 90

    percent and full capacity utilization.

    Newbuilding prices fell on average by 25 percent over

    the year and with an expected very modest ordering

    activity in 2010 the price decline will most likely

    continue.

    TANKER MARKETA STRONG SUPPORT FROM

    FLOATING STORAGE

    Despite a 7 percent fleet growth and an estimated

    decline of 5 percent in seaborne oil trade in volume

    terms tanker rates in 2009 were on average significantly

    above lay-up levels, but not covering full capital costs.

    A persistent oversupply of oil accumulated some 170 millbbls as floating storage at the end of the year and tied up as

    much as 6 percent of the tanker fleet. Without this

    employment we believe freight rates had been close to

    operating cost. Instead we reached an average of $28,000

    per day for VLCCs, down from $88,000 in 2008.

    Preliminary data suggest that tonnage demand fell by 1

    percent for the total year resulting in a utilization rate of 84

    percent compared to 91 percent in 2008. Transport distances

    fell sharply in the first half and increased in the second half.

    China's crude imports contributed strongly to this trend.

    World oil demand fell by 1.6 percent, in OECD countriesthe decline was 4 to 5 percent, in emerging markets there

    was an increase of 2 percent. Oil production was reduced by

    2 percent, in Middle East the decline was 8 percent.

    DRY BULK MARKETSTRONGER THAN

    EXPECTED

    2009 turned out stronger for dry bulk shipping than

    expected at the start of the year. However, on a yearly

    average basis, freight rates were around 60 percent lower

    than in 2008. After a very weak start of the year, freightrates recovered significantly over the year driven by a

    substantial increase in Chinese dry bulk imports.

    Preliminary figures suggest the world seaborne trade in dry

    bulk commodities and tonnage demand to have remained

    more or less unchanged from 2008 to 2009. The active dry

    bulk fleet increased by 7 percent calculated on a yearly

    average basis. The fleet utilization rate fell thus by

    approximately 7 percentage points.

    Chinas dry bulk imports increased by 270 mill tonnes from

    2008 to 2009. Iron ore imports rose around 170 mill tonnes(39 percent), while coal imports jumped nearly 80 mill

    tonnes (160 percent). India raised its dry bulk imports by

    30 mill tonnes, mainly driven by higher coal imports. In

    other countries, dry bulk imports fell about 300 mill tonnes.

    The strongest drops were seen in Japan and Europe and by

    commodity, iron ore and coal suffered most.

    THE TANKER MARKET

    Incl. chemical carriers

    Large tankers maintained firm rates in December despite

    modest overall tanker demand. The Q4 rally boosted earnings

    as expected. However, the prior eight years VLCCs have

    averaged about $69,000/day in Q4, more than double this

    year's figure of $29,000/day. With the single hull phase out

    now upon us and the forward demand scenario improving step-

    by-step, many consider the backdrop for 2010 to be somewhat

    improved over expectations from only months ago. The fact

    that rates did rise throughout Q4 2009 has provided hope to

    owners that the mismatch in fundamentals will not be severe

    and profitability will continue moving forward.

    The average values for the vessels in our report fell by some 25

    percent during 2009 or about 50 percent since the peak mid

    2008. The number of vessels sold during the year fell from

    about 300 in 2008 to about 170 vessels with a total value of

    about $4 billion in 2009 representing a fall of some 60 percent

    and more than 70 percent since 2007.

    At the moment values seem to have leveled out and we believe

    the charter market will be the most influential factor to

    determine prices /values in the months to come. On the positive

    side single hull tankers will be faced out during the year and

    with about 80 single hull VLCCs still around compared to

    about 75 scheduled for delivery during 2010 the market couldwell be better than most market players expect.

    STEEL PRODUCTION in mill tonnes

    THE DRY BULK MARKET

    Freight rates for Capesizes weakened during the second half of

    December resulting from less Chinese activity in iron ore.

    The Panamax sector showed a firmer tendency towards the end

    of the year driven by higher Atlantic grain activity and

    increased fixtures of coal in the Pacific.

    In the Handy and Supramax sectors, freight rates remained

    relatively steady over the last month. The main element behind

    firm tonnage demand for the smaller sizes was firm Pacific

    activity in steel and other minor bulks.

    SALE AND PURCHASE BULK CARRIERS

    The year ended with solid activity in the dry-cargo sale &

    purchase market where Chinese buyers continued the trend

    seen throughout the year and picked up the majority of vessels

    reported sold in December. Prices remain firm and we

    understand a Capesize resale for delivery ex Japanese yard

    April 2010 has just been committed for a strong $71.5 mill toChinese buyers. Despite a very uncertain start of the year in

    respect of second-hand values, the market improved drastically

    during 2009 both in terms of values and liquidity. We estimate

    the value for a new Capesize increased more than 15 percent

    over the year while Panamaxes and Supramaxes gained above

    10 percent. Whereas the activity in terms of number of sales

    almost doubled in 2009 compared to 2008, the total value of all

    transactions concluded were considerable below the 2008figures reflecting the substantially drop in values since the peak

    which ended in the early autumn 2008.

    Preliminary figures suggest some 67 percent drop in container

    volumes from 2008 to 2009. At the same time, the container ship

    fleet increased by 8 percent calculated on a yearly average basis.

    The capacity utilization rate decreased thus by 1415

    percentage points from 2008 to 2009.

    2009 was a disastrous year for container shipping. Charter rates

    hovered around lay-up levels most of the year, while box rates

    increased over the last months mainly resulting from a

    significant adjustment of the operating container ship capacity.

    At year end 11.4 percent (1.5 mill teu) of the container ship

    fleet was reported to be idle.
