Older tonnage, especially larger sizes, have been sold at a premium for the past few months, as market demand is high and fleet supply still relatively modest. Dry Deals have been concluded over the holidays for those who stayed in the office to play this depressed market. The problems buyers have to face generally concerns the amount of tonnage coming out of China. The list of sales candidates is growing in the on asset values. Crude The late part of August saw activity picking up in the second hand tanker market. Two VLCCs dominated the last week of the month with Ulriken (built 1998 South Korea) reported sold for US$ 26.5 million, and the three years younger vessel DS Victoria being picked up for US$ 33 million. Newbuilding prices coming out of China, showed a firming trend for the month in most tanker sizes. As we entered September, the market continued to see an increase in activity with Greek buyers paying US$ 33.7 million for another 2001 South Korean built vessel in the VLCC size. er tonnage in North West Europe and Far East Asia combined with lack of modern second hand sales candidates has owners looking at newbuilding possibilities, although current charter rates do not yet justify such. Japanese stainless steel tanker yards are more or less booked until 2017, and the recently released white-list of yards approved by Chinese government so far omits some of the larger potential builders of such tonnage. In the MR market, we continue to see an increase in resale candidates from the burgeoning orderbook, while for some of our active buyers modern second hand units appear to be a more effective use of capital. 1

2 VLGC VLGC Fleet - Deliveries and Scrapping VLGC 82/84 kcbm Strong market conditions and heavy ordering is causing influx of deliveries to VLGC market. A strong freight market and rising second hand values for older vessels indicate that we will see little tonnage in the larger sizes being scrapped going forward.

Freight rates and NB prices have been at lower levels for a while, but any expectations of a recovery might be offset by supply from Chinese yards hitting the water, putting pressure on asset values. Chemical Chemical Fleet - Deliveries and Scrapping Chemical Tanker STST 19,999dwt - SH 5 Year Yards are filling up from the high ordering rate within the segment. SH 5 values have gained momentum since last year and are now increasing. 2

3 Special report - Private Equity One of the shipping market s most prominent features is its volatility. And as far as any main feature goes in attracting new partners, the market s rapid rate of change is doing exactly that when it comes to tempting the financial market. As traditional bank finance has grown more careful in the wake of the financial crisis, private equity and hedge funds have emerged as new actors. Speculations that a market recovery is imminent have prompted investors to take advantage of low new building prices, buying vessels and shipping companies, creating jointventures and taking over shipping loans from many traditional banks seeking to reduce risky exposure. This source of ready finance has helped make up for the recent years shortfall from the commercial banking sector, and has through its sheer volume of financial commitment set itself apart as a force to be reckoned with within the current industry. While estimates vary, Tufton Oceanic puts total private equity investment into shipping at US$ 32 bn in the last two years alone. Due to the often undisclosed nature of such deals however, real numbers could be far higher. As a result of the increased levels of available capital there has been a significant increase in new building orders, as companies take advantage of lower new building prices to expand existing fleets as expectations for a recovery grow. Some actors are voicing concern over this development, arguing that tonnage oversupply promotes the risk of a delayed recovery in some market segments. Whilst private equity in particular has been a reprieve in terms of offering fresh finance and providing equity, this source of capital may also be tempting the fate of the selfadjusting market mechanism, by enabling inefficient companies to pull through where their demise would have been a natural dynamic of the self-regulating market. -5 years. As conditions in the freight market at the moment are making it difficult to make a profit from operations, funds are employing other strategies, such as watering out ownership through IPOs or by selling ships in the secondhand market. As much as the market has benefited from the activity brought on by private funds, it is also keenly watching how they will extract themselves from investments and what the possible effects will be. Some analysts have argued that the fleet can handle the influx of tonnage represented by current order books, as they believe scrapping will increase as international regulations call for more eco-friendly vessels. Whilst we agree with the principle of this argument, we do not believe it will have the desired effect, as fleet age is very young at the moment. (Exemplified by the age of today s chemical fleet averaging at 10 years.) In addition, some older vessels are servicing long-term contracts preventing them from being scrapping candidates. Highly affected by the downturn in the global economy, the shipping industry has been attractive for investors bullish about a recovery. But as recent GDP growth estimates have continuously been adjusted downwards over the past two years, we are likely to see lower growth rates over a longer period. This is setting a sober stage for the demand side of shipping, which is also augmented by an apparent slowdown in China. What remains true is that the market will always make sense to someone, whichever way it turns. At the moment, it could be telling some actors to sell, as the current bullish sentiment might make for a hard landing in vessel values within the next months unless we see a long awaited recovery pushing freight rates higher. By nature, private equity has a shorter investment horizon than what is the case in traditional shipping, seeking to reap returns within a short time frame, and divest from investments within 3 3
