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
