Comparison
Total MPP fleet vs. Heavylift vessels (>150t )
with portion of vessels over 25yrs and orderbook (dwt)
MPP Fleet Heavylift fleet >150tSource: Clarksons April 2009
�Total orderbook is 27% of
total fleet, orderbook >150t
is 70% of the heavylift fleet
�Deliveries until 2012+ only
cover 74% of the overaged
tonnage (25+)
� In the heavylift segment
newbuildings make up
206% of the overaged
tonnage.
�Even after replacement of
25yrs old vessels the Heavy
Lift fleet will grow by 36%.
But:Will all these new
vessels be delivered?
Medium-term Outlook
• Worldwide economic stimulus packages worldwide encourageprojects in the infrastructure and energy sectors.
• Wind power benefits from the increased demand for renewablepower supply.
• Upswing in the modernisation and construction of power plants.
• Investments in the oil and gas sector are going to increase.
Consequences for the HL Shipping Industry
• Due to increasing amount of projects to be realised in the next years,
demand for the transportation of project cargoes will grow.
• Bunker prices are expected to increase and stay on a relatively high
level.
• Investments into new tonnage require higher rates.
���� Therefore we expect that transportation costs of project cargoesand heavy lifts will increase!

Rate Inquiries
• Are your inquiries taken seriously? Many times a customer will feel he or she is not getting the attention they should receive.
WHY
• The Forwarder does not provide sufficient information for various of reasons.
• Possibly there is for fear that the carrier will contact their client directly and cut them out of the deal.
• Failure to ask the proper questions from their client. Either lack of experience or:
• Fear that they may upset the customer by asking too many questions.
•
• Failure to internally pass along the information so that by the time the RFQ has gotten down to the person sending it out, pertinent information may be omitted.
• Vital technical information unknown by carrier which later could change the rate.
Results are a poor presentation of the material to be shipped: incorrect P/L, no shipment window, no description= a perception of minimal interest on the forwarders part.
Vital Information
• Pieces, weights and dimensions
• Proper cargo description
• Stackable / overstowable
• Type of packaging
• Under deck or on deck option
• Time of shipment
• Preferred load / discharge ports
• Project name
