Tanker Supply and Demand

Page 2: Freight rates for some tanker segments at rock bottom

• Looking beyond the next two years toward 2015, what sort of balance will there be in the tanker market?

• Will there be a similar consolidation in the tanker market as we have seen in the container market? What are the drivers for and against consolidation?

• Assuming that the large energy importing countries increase their control of the total value chain, to what extent will there be a role for the independent tanker owner?

Page 3: Freight rates for some tanker segments at rock bottom

• Freight rates for some tanker segments at rock bottom• Fundamentals still strong, but great uncertainty

caused by– High oil price– Political unrest – Debt crises, unemployment, housing crises

• Many deliveries (but delays), young fleet• Slack in supply of tankers

– slow steaming (ballast)– Lowering C/P speed– Fewer tanker transits through Suez Canal

– Piracy effect – longer routes/inefficiency • New refineries in Saudi Arabia

Oil/tanker demand correlates with economic growthPositive growth projected – but there is great uncertainty

Signs of oil slower growth demand due to high prices

Fleet surplus has been disguised by storage, slow steaming and special events

Fleet increasing

Page 18: Freight rates for some tanker segments at rock bottom

Strategic Tanker Considerations

• A young fleet - 70% will be with us for at least another 10-15 years (built >2000)

• China expected to drive demand and the Middle East has the reserves

• World economy still under threat, the high oil price adds to the uncertainty

• Market balance set to weaken the next couple of years• Successful Green House Gas emission reduction will

mean reduced oil consumption• Costs reduction needs careful risk management • Product tanker market may be the strongest, fewer

delivers, new Saudi refineries

Page 19: Freight rates for some tanker segments at rock bottom

Long and Short Term Considerations

• Still fragile economy

Long term

Wild cards:Oil price$ risik

Disruptions: insurgency, hurricanes,

strikes,…….Storage/stocks

Short term

Positive

Negative

• Many deliveries

• Young fleet, little scrapping

• Large shipyard capacity

• Slow steaming and reduced C/P speed

• Around the cape transits• Little use of Suez canal for crude transits

• Energy security

•GHG emission

• Alternative use of energy

• Fuel efficiency

• Peak oil?

• Population increase

• GPD increase

• Long term oil demand forecast up

• Increased dependence on Middle East oil

• Oil use per capita still low in China, India, Africa
