Summary and outlook


| Q4 2024E | 2025E | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Oil consumption / production growth |
• Continued oil consumption growth, but some macro economic headwinds, in particular China and Europe • Possible easing of OPEC+ production cuts |
||
| Tonne-miles growth | • Positive growth assuming Red Sea disruptions continues |
||
| Fleet growth | • Less competition expected from crude tankers in CPP-trades • Overall low fleet growth in 2024, but accelerating in 2025 |
||
| Market balance | • Expect positive seasonal upturn last months of 2024 • Moderating, but expected to remain strong in 2025 |

| Q4 2024E | 2025E | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Dry bulk commodity demand growth |
• Continued positive underlining global dry bulk demand • Weak European demand depresses Atlantic market • China demand above expectations for 2024 –risks for 2025 |
||
| Tonne-miles growth | • Panama canal back to normal – Red Sea disruptions expected to continue, but still a downside risk • High fronthaul shipments support tonne-mile demand |
||
| Fleet growth | • High port efficiency increases effective fleet growth in 2H 2024 • Low nominal growth in both 2024 and 2025 |
||
| Market balance | • Strong demand growth in 2024, but market balance suffering from low congestion/high efficiency in 2nd half 2024. • Low fleet growth leaves little room for surprises/inefficiencies |

Depreciations 2025: Following completed DDs in 2024 and 2025, we expect to see an increasingly recognized depreciation cost per quarter from in range 10-25% per quarter throughout 2025 (compared to Q3 2024). On an annual basis we expect depreciation cost for 2025 to be approximately in range 15-20 % higher than 2024.
